- Stay Visible (Seenzone): Position yourself where drivers can see you, avoiding blind spots, and maintain a safe distance to increase your visibility and reduce the risk of collisions.
- Blinking Firefly: Ensure you are clearly visible, especially during low-light conditions such as night or early morning, by using reflective gear or lights on your bike.
- Keep Your Focus: Stay alert and avoid distractions. Always keep your head up, scan ahead, and be aware of your surroundings. Refrain from using gadgets or wearing earphones that can divert your attention.
- Strategize Your Route: Plan your ride in advance by mapping out your route. Consider factors such as road conditions, traffic patterns, and potential hazards to ensure a smooth and safe journey.
