In order to enjoy safe and enjoyable cycling, it is very important to follow the advice below
Always be visible! Use a light from dusk and avoid the blind spots of vehicles!
Do not drive close to the right side of the road!
Make eye contact at intersections, slow down if necessary! Make sure they really notice you and give you the right of way when it's appropriate!
Don't use you bike on the sidewalk! Dirvers do not expect cyclists traveling at high speed on the sidewalk, moreover, the sidewalk belongs to pedestrians, do not endanger them either!
Don't hurry, don't rush! Never make a sudden decision and always roll fast enough so that possible obstacles do not cause problems!
Avoid risky, uncertain situations. ("I'm just getting through...")
Do not use headphones or earphones. It is much safer if you can not only see, but also hear what is happening around you. Don't talk on the phone while cycling. You need your hands to steer, not to talk on the phone. It is also better if you keep your attention on the traffic.
Always notify in time if you are changing direction. Always look behind you before turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or evading, and then give a clear signal! (many times the fact that you turned your head back tells the driver behind you that "pay attention, I'm up to something").
And the most important thing: comply with KRESZ!
