Keep the bicycle clean and well oiled, and make sure that there are no loose parts. Pay special attention to the brakes, tires, and lights. Regularly check the tightness and alignment of the wheels, handlebars, pedals, and chain. At all times, cyclists must give clear and positive hand signals when turning. Do not weave in and out of traffic or ride close to moving vehicles.
Special care is needed at crosswalks, near parked cars, and on uneven road surfaces.
