WHATS COOL TO WEAR WHEN YOURE BIKING?
It makes sense to wear something brightly colored when youre biking. Choose a color that makes you easy to see. If youre biking in the forest, dont wear green!
- Fluorescent green, yellow or orange are all great choices. If youre wearing these colors, other bikers, motorists and pedestrians will be able to see you better.
- Look for fabrics that are cool and lightweight. (You can really work up a sweat biking!) If its cool outside, dress in layers. You can peel off clothing as you start to get warmer.
- For riding at night (which we dont recommend for anyone) youll need clothing with retro-reflective materials sewn onto it. Youll also need one light source, like a headlamp.
- Make sure the straps of your bookbag, loose clothing or anything else isnt going to catch in the wheels of the bike, and cause you to lose control.
- Last but not least -- don't forget to wear your helmet!
WHAT NOT TO WEAR WHILE YOU'RE BIKING.
- Headphones are a no-no! You wont be able to hear whats going on around you.
- Clothing thats too loose.
- Inappropriate shoes. (High-heels, Slippers, Bowling Shoes)
- Dark Clothes
You're almost to the Finish Line.
Just watch out for those Danger Zones!
