Hi Everyone in the cycling community. I hope we're all doing great. Going through searching for communities I can engage in, I came across a cycling community. I took interest in it since I love cycling. So I will be writing about the Do's and Don'ts during cycling, the safety precautions to take during cycling.

There are various Things we can do during cycling and things we should not do during cycling so as to avoid accidents during cycling. The Do's includes:

1. Wear Proper Gear: Always wear a helmet and appropriate cycling attire for safety and comfort.

2. Check Your Bike: Before every ride, inspect your bike for any signs of damage or malfunction, especially the brakes, tires, and gears.

3. Follow Traffic Rules: A Lot of Cyclists fails to obey the same traffic laws as motorists thinking traffic laws are just for motorists. Always stop at red lights, and yield to pedestrians.

4. Stay Alert: Be aware of your surroundings, including other cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles.

5. Communicate: Use hand signals to indicate turns and stops, and make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.

6. Stay Hydrated and Fueled: Carry water and snacks for longer rides to stay hydrated and maintain energy levels.

7. Practice Good Bike Handling: Improve your skills by practicing maneuvers like braking, cornering, and riding in various conditions.

8. Stay Consistent: Build up your endurance and strength gradually through regular cycling sessions.

The Don'ts includes:

1. Don't Ignore Safety Gear: Most cyclists ride without a helmet or other essential safety gear which is not good while cycling we should make use of safety gears.

2. Don't Ride Against Traffic: Always ride in the same direction as traffic flow to reduce the risk of accidents.

3. Don't Ride Distracted: A Lot of cyclist fall a victim of riding with earpiece with high volumes thereby getting distracted so while cycling, we should avoid using phones or listening to music at high volumes that could distract you from the road.

4. Don't Assume Right of Way: Even if you have the right of way, always be cautious and prepared to yield if necessary. Maintain a safe distance from other cyclists and vehicles to prevent accidents.

5. Don't Skip Maintenance: Regularly maintain your bike to ensure it's in good working condition and safe to ride.

Cyclists can enjoy safer and more enjoyable rides when they are able to take safety precautions, do what they are supposed to do while cycling that will avoid accidents and injuries and also try not to do what should be avoided to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
