Who needs a bicycle safety checklist? Biking may seem harmless, and it is safer than driving a car or, certainly, a truck. Still, it's always better to be safe than sorry. It's the first principle of biking - be safe. Before hopping on my bike, I always make it a point to follow my bicycle inspection checklist and to take my emergency gear. It's essential, especially when going on bicycling tours.

A Short Bicycle Safety Checklist

What must I include on my bicycle safety checklist before each ride?

• Are the bicycle wheels spinning properly?
• Are the bicycle brakes secure and working fine?
• Are all the spokes in their proper place?
• Is the bicycle chain well lubricated? Does it fit properly?
• Is the motion of the bicycle pedals smooth?
• Are the bicycle handlebars secure and straight?
• Is the saddle properly adjusted?
• Are there any bicycle lights on the front of the bike?
• Is there a bicycle bell or a horn? Do they work?
• Are there any bicycle reflectors mounted on the bike? Are they clean and high-reflecting?

Apart from that bicycle safety checklist, you must carry bicycle safety equipment with you. I always carry equipment with me to be safe. At first, bringing all that emergency equipment was tedious because I would only sometimes need it. However, I have purchased a special bag to attach to my bicycle seat. There are many kinds of bicycle saddle bags on the Internet and in almost every bicycle store. They come in different sizes and styles.

What Do I Need To Carry With Me on Each Ride?

A good bicycle helmet with a proper fit: To protect against possible head injuries or trauma- A MUST-HAVE.

Biking sunglasses or other means of eye protection: To ensure protection from ultraviolet rays and other harmful environmental particles.

Bicycle tire pump: In case of a flat tire.

Bicycling gloves: To protect my hands if I fall.

Spare bicycle inner tubes and a patch kit: To continue with a flat tire even if I do not have a spare. I can plug the hole.

Bicycle repair kit: To perform emergency repairs as needed without having to go to the bike repair shop.

Reflectors and a bicycle light: To prevent accidents and collisions.

Neon-colored cycling clothes: To be seen in the dark and during conditions of poor visibility.

First-aid kit: For easy treatment of bike scrapes and wounds.

Cell phone: For communication and back-up help. You can also use it for navigation.

Summary

It might seem like a lot of stuff to carry, but it's not. As I said earlier, bicycle saddle bags were invented for this purpose. You can easily fit all this equipment in a bag and attach it under your seat. Suppose you are going on a short bicycle ride near your home. In that case, you may not need a bicycle safety checklist, but if you are on your way to another one of your bicycling tours, a bicycle safety checklist can be beneficial.
