RIDING TIPS
Always Wear Full Gear
Helmet, jacket, gloves and boots — every ride, every time.
Be Seen, Be Safe
Use your headlight, wear bright colours and stay out of blind spots.
Regular Maintenance
Check tyre pressure, brakes and chain before every ride.
Ride for the Weather
Reduce speed in rain and watch for slippery road markings.
Check Your Tyres
Look for worn tread, nails, cracks and correct pressure before long rides.
Keep Safe Distance
Leave extra space from cars and lorries so you have time to react.
Read the Road Ahead
Scan junctions, U-turn gaps, parked cars and side roads early.
Use Mirrors Often
Check behind before changing lane, braking hard or moving around traffic.
No Phone While Riding
Set navigation before moving and stop safely if you need to check messages.
Plan Fuel Stops
Agree on petrol stops early and refuel before remote roads.
Ride Your Own Pace
Do not chase faster riders. Regroup at stops and corners instead.
Carry Emergency Info
Keep ICE contact, blood type, insurance details and basic tools accessible.
