Tell them who you are, where and when the bike was stolen, and give a description of the bike. Keep to the right of the road. Keep your hands on the handle bars. Wear reflective clothing and light colors. Accidents involving bicycles are steadily increasing.
Major streets are the most dangerous.
The peak traffic hours between 4 pm and 6 pm are the most dangerous for cyclists. Avoid busy streets as much as possible and try to plan your biking before 4 pm. The fun of riding is missed if your bicycle doesn't work right. Check your tires daily for air pressure and wear. Making sure the handle bars, saddle, and pedals are tight can prevent a fall.
