Introduction

I've decided to start writing a regular series of short bike tips and safety information during this difficult time of social distancing measures due to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. Health professionals stress the need for outdoor exercise even now, especially now. Like other regular exercise, biking can help keep you healthy longer. I've been very happy to see many more people out on bikes than I usually see this early in the year!

I believe that biking is fun and reasonably safe, and I like to do what I can to encourage it. I imagine that some of you may be getting back to it as adults after some time away, or maybe have never biked very much before. Maybe you are a parent of a child just learning, or maybe even you yourself are just learning!

One thing I have decided to do to help others during this challenging time is offer some basic free bike help, if you have questions or concerns. Post them in the comments and I'll be happy to address them. For people local to Westbrook, Maine, USA, I’m offering some basic in-person service, with appropriate required social distancing and virus-safe bike cleaning. Please email me at johnbrooking4 @ gmail.com to inquire about these in-person services.


See my profile for more about my qualifications, or see my bicycling résumé.

Let's get out there and enjoy the ride (safely)!

Five Layers of Bike Safety: Tying it All Together

This will be my last post on this blog. It was conceived in the early stages of the Covid pandemic, April 2020, in response to seeing so many new people out on bikes, so early in the season (for Maine). The goal was to provide basic should-know information to people who may be taking up biking for the first time as adults, or in a long time, or ever. I hope that it  has accomplished that. I think that I have covered the basics now, and I'll wrap it all up with a concept known as the Five Layers of Bicycle Safety . This concept was developed by Dan Gutierrez , a bicycle safety educator in California. For this post, I will present each of his slides, with commentary by Mighk Wilson, another long-time bicycle educator, a transportation planner, lifelong cyclist, and co-creator of CyclingSavvy .  The Five Layers of Bicycle Safety In Dan's words, "The important talking point about this diagram is that the layers are cumulative and build upon each other, with the first 4 to elim

Light Up Your (Bike) Life

This week, we're starting a series on accessories, mostly focused on safety. In my opinion, the most important pieces of safety equipment that do not automatically come with the bike are lights, if you plan on riding at night. Lights are legally required for riding at night in all states, the only accessory that I'm aware of that is. Or you could just not ride at night. Some bicycle manuals actually recommend that! To me, that seems like a real lazy way out, not to mention disempowering. I'm sure they say that mostly because their lawyers told them to. But with a good set of lights, night can be one of the most relaxing times to ride! Traffic is down on most roads, and you may even have it to yourself much of the time. Also, it's easier to see cars coming, and from farther away, because of their headlights. Having lights yourself will give you confidence that you will be seen by others, and if they are strong enough, enable you to see the road well enough to avoid p
