Biking is a fun, eco-friendly, and healthy way to travel, but safety should always come first. Whether you're commuting to work, riding for exercise, enjoying a casual bike ride, or driving these tips will help keep our Southern Nevada roads safe.
- Wear a Helmet
A properly fitting helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury. Make sure it sits level on your head and straps snugly under your chin.
- Be Visible
Wear bright clothing, use reflectors, and equip your bike with front and rear lights, especially if riding at night. Stay out of drivers' blind spots and make eye contact when possible.
- Perform a Pre-Ride Check
Inspect your tires, brakes, and chain before every ride to avoid mechanical failures on the road.
