In the monsoon season, when you leave home at any time, unexpected rain can drench you, posing risks while riding.
Here are tips to stay safe on roads during monsoons.
Check Your Bike: Ensure your bike is in top condition before riding in the monsoon.
Wear Appropriate Gear: Invest in a good quality raincoat or waterproof riding gear that does not hinder your movement. Wear a helmet with a visor to maintain visibility and protect yourself from rain and road spray.
Slow Down and Increase Distance: Roads are slippery during monsoons, so reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead.
Be Visible: Use your bike's headlights, even during the day, to increase visibility to other vehicles.
Watch Out for Puddles and Flooded Areas: Avoid riding through deep puddles or flooded areas as they can hide potholes or other hazards.
Following these tips can significantly enhance your safety while riding a bike during the monsoon season.
