Morristown resident and bicycle commuter, Austin, shares great tips for bike safety: “I do everything I can to ride safely which includes wearing a helmet, doing what I can to be seen, riding predictably, and communicating with traffic on the road. Pavement is very unforgiving, so a helmet is always smart to wear. To be seen, I always have a rear red light on my bike. It’s very important during dawn and dusk, but I use mine all day. It’s also great to have a front white blinky. Be sure to ride as predictably as possible. The truth is, you will always be interacting with cars, and while we’d all love if they were patient and gave us Covid’s 6 feet of space, it just isn’t the case with a lot drivers. I try to ride in a straight line, be as aware as possible of cars coming up behind me, and signal as necessary, especially if I have to divert from the straight line due to debris or a change in the road.”
