Practical Tips
Before You Set Out
Check your brakes, tires, gears and other bike components
Take your bicycle in for a pre-trip tune-up
Take a test spin to make sure you are comfortable riding with what you’ll be carrying
Place the heaviest items at the bottom of your bags if possible
Pack a multifunction bicycle tool and a flat tire kit for minor repairs
Don’t forget a roll of duct tape, which will come in handy for a variety of uses
Bring a sufficient amount of water and food
Factor in extra time for unexpected stops (glitches, scenic detours, etc.)
Travelling alone? Leave your itinerary with someone
On the Road
Stay alert and avoid distractions
Obey the rules of the road and comply with all posted signs
Ride with the flow of traffic, single file, on the right-hand side of the road
Always pass on the left
Use hand signals to indicate turns and stops
Slow down in the presence of pedestrians
When stopping, pull to the right edge of the road
Be visible at all times
Make sure your helmet fits snugly
Check your bicycle regularly: make sure your tire pressure is adequate, your chain is well lubricated, your spokes are secure, your brake pads are in good condition – and keep an eye out for potential mechanical problems
