Tip #1: Dress for the Time of Day Try choosing your attired depending on the time of day you’ll be going for a ride. When you’re cycling during the daytime, wear at least one piece of clothing that’s florescent. Lime green is the most visible color you can wear in the daytime. At night, it’ll be pretty hard to see any colors. When cycling at night opt for something that’s reflective. That way a pedestrian’s flashlight or a motorist’s headlights will help you stand out.
Tip #3: Invest in a Better Bell The bell your bicycle came with is typically pretty weak. It’s cute and all, but you won’t really get someone’s attention with a quiet bell. Buying a louder bell from your local cycle shop or even online can go a long way in alerting pedestrians in particular to your location. A lot of cyclists recommend SpurCycle bells, but there are many options you could choose from.
