Protect yourself – Always wear your helmet. Get a tune up – Keep your bike in good working condition. Stay visible – Wear bright clothing or reflective accessories. Know the law – Headlights and rear reflectors are required by law for night riding. Taillights are a good addition and required in some areas for roads posted 35 mph or higher. Do a trial run – Find a good route and see how long it takes. Go with a friend – You can go solo or find a coworker who lives nearby to commute with. Split the ride – If your commute is too long for bicycling or you want to gradually build confidence and stamina, consider riding part way. You could pedal to the nearest Metro or commuter rail station (MARC, VRE) and take your bike aboard, or drive part of the way and ride the rest. Bike to Work Day and MCDOT logos
.@BiketoWorkDay is less than a month away! Before you head out for a 🚲ride, here are some important safety tips and advice that will help boost your confidence, riding enjoyment, and ease you into bicycle #commuting.
