Safety Tips for Walking and Biking Alone: Routes and Precautions

Before embarking on a walk or bike ride, familiarize yourself with your routes to ensure safety. Assess your surroundings and gauge your comfort level; if something feels off, consider an alternative route. Always choose sidewalks when available, and if not, walk facing oncoming traffic for visibility. Cyclists should ride in the same direction as traffic, and older riders are encouraged to use low-speed roads instead of sidewalks. Remember, wearing a properly fitted bike helmet is essential for every ride to enhance safety.
