Experts are always advocating the health benefits of biking. And while the barrier to entry is low-pretty much all you need to know to start cycling is how to ride a bike itself-people often ask me if I have any tips for beginner bikers.
Below, a few things I've learned along the way that help make for a safer and more joyful ride:
Follow the rules of the road. Brake at yellow lights, stop for pedestrians and maintain a solid distance from cars.____Therefore, never fly through stop signs, approach too close to the front vehicles or shout at cars.
____A British doctor recently made headlines when he claimed that wearing a bike helmet is actually more dangerous than traveling without one, but most research suggests otherwise. A full 98 percent of bike commuters （上班族）own a helmet, so you'll be in good company, anyway.
Make a playlist. Laws against riding with headphones vary from state to state, and it's never proper to listen to music in more than one ear. But cruising around to a soundtrack can be an amazing feeling, so consider buying a wireless speaker you can fix on your frame. ____
Know your rights. If you do end up getting into a collision, stay on the scene until the police come.____ Cyclists are too often taken advantage of in bad situations, especially if their injuries don't seem to be apparent.
Find some friends. As great as it can be to bike alone, zipping down the street in a big group is an equally satisfying experience.____Various bicycle trips are often organized, which provides opportunities to develop friendship among bikers.
A.Be sure to get a helmet.
B.It's necessary you give them an accurate report of the incident.
C.Most cities have enough resources for the cycling community.
D.Most of us will feel it obviously safer to ride on a bike than in a car.
E.Then put together a list of your favorite tunes and get ready to enjoy them.
F.Pushing to the limit not only gives bikers a bad reputation, but also a great danger.
G.It' s comforting to know that whatever I need is nothing more than a bike ride away.
