What are some guidelines that I can follow while biking to work?
Equipping Your Bicycle for Commuting 1. Make sure the bicycle is properly sized and adjusted. 2. Use a white headlamp and a red rear reflector for night riding. 3. A rack over the rear wheel is convenient for carrying items such as books, a briefcase, or clothing. 4. Carry a basic tool kit, tire patch kit and tire pump for those unexpected roadside repairs.
