Erik, a senior cyclist, emphasized the importance of considering safety and comfort precautions when cycling, especially long distances. He stated that in addition to ensuring physical fitness and roadworthy bikes, cyclists should also wear safety gear.

"Take frequent breaks to avoid pushing yourself when you're tired. We also have to wait for our teammates if we have them. Safety and comfort gear is essential, including a helmet, mandatory shoes, shin guards, gloves, and drinking water," Erik told RRI at the Gunung Putri PGV in Bogor on Sunday (April 21, 2024).

Erik, a member of the Cibubur cycling community, cycled from Cibubur, East Jakarta, to Gunung Putri, Bogor. He and his friends had covered about 30 kilometers after their Ramadan break.

"We left at dawn with friends from the community from Cibubur, and some from Ciracas. It was a fun morning workout, we had already planned to come here, and they said the views were beautiful," Erik said.

I see it's been a while since this thread was active, but I just wanted to ask—how do you all handle safety checks in everyday routines, like at work or at home? I’ve noticed that keeping things simple, like using checklists, really helps me stay consistent. Would love to hear if anyone here has found a trick that works well for them.

I once had a minor crash while riding to work, and although I was fine, fixing the damages cost more than I expected. Someone later told me about bicycle insurance uk, and it’s been a game-changer. It covers accidents, theft, and even third-party claims, which I hadn’t even considered before. Having that peace of mind now lets me enjoy riding without stressing about what could go wrong.
