Riding in wet conditions
Try to avoid riding in wet weather if
possible as this seriously increases the
risk of losing control and falling.
Tire adherence to the road surface, as
well as braking efficiency, are greatly
reduced in wet conditions. Slow down,
start braking earlier and more gently, and
take extra caution when turning.
Water splashing into your eyes can reduce
vision; wear proper eyewear.
Riding at night
Try to avoid riding at night as this adds
several risks.
Make sure you are visible to others and
that you can also see them well. Reflectors
included on your tricycle are minimal
safety devices, and it is recommended
that you use a proper set of lights on your
tricycle (Depending on your location this
could be mandatory by the law).
Wear bright colored clothes and
equipment and always check to confirm
that people see you before attempting a
manoeuvre. Always ride defensively and
assume that people don’t see you.
Riding with foot securing devices
Be careful while riding with foot securing
devices such as toe-clips or clipless
pedals. Although they may help increase
pedaling performance, there is a learning
curve before being able to safely use
these devices. Start gradually and adjust
the tightness of the straps or springs
accordingly.
