any suggestion how to make an improvised fire alarm? we need it for our project thanks :D
Have a look at your local street directory see if there are any other less traffic alternatives. If you have no other options, there are ways of minimizing any risks. Try not to go out in the middle of peak hour, and try to aim for parts of the day which tend to have less traffic. If there is a safe verge of the road you can use, make the most of it. But if that part of the road is full of glass other road crud and is too narrow, there's nothing stopping you riding on the main bit of road. Wear bright clothing - a reflective safety vest is a good option. Remember to wear a helmet. At night time always have some kind of lights, front rear. Make sure some kind of reflective material is on your bike as well ,whether it be reflective tape, pedal reflectors etc. Be aware of your surroundings, leave the ipod at home keep aware of the traffic coming up behind you. Be confident, hold your line don't let other road users intimidate you. Riding in the gutter can be dangerous, so you have the right to take up part of the outer lane. That said, be prepared to give right of way to others if in a potentially dangerous situation. Oh and keep a spare tube, pump patch kit handy, because walking a bike home along a main road is not that fun. I just noticed you're just 15. If I were you, I'll meantion where I was going to someone else. Parents might be a bit bossy at times, but they are only looking after your well-being. Carrying a mobile phone as a safety backup would be a good option here. I learnt this the hard way when I was 13, out on a main road, not telling anyone where I was going. I'm sure my mum did not appreciate getting a call that I had flew off my bike into a dirt ditch!! Happy (safe) riding
If its a major highway I would recommend finding a different route, cause you could muck up traffic and could get hit.
Not yet, but the clothes look pretty cute from the ads. They're cheap too.
