With Bike
to Work Week upon us, it is important to remember that the summer months
are the most dangerous biking months in the City of Chicago. Summer is when the most
number of Chicagoans take to their bikes to avoid congested city streets and
packed, smelly CTA buses and trains during their commute to work. With these
facts in mind, the
Red Eye recently published an article with a number of important safety
recommendations for bicyclists.
The Red Eye article is full of safety tips (if not a safe title), from advising bicyclists to stay away from the lakefront due to the potential of dazed tourists wandering into your path to lubricating your bike’s gears to reduce the risk of catastrophic break down. The article also includes tricks to arrive at work presentable after a long bike commute on a hot summer day. Thanks again to the Red Eye for its continued interest in Chicago's bicycling community.
Always remember that the best safety tip of all is to "keep your head on a swivel" and be mindful of everyone and everything around you. The old cliche is true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
