The Importance of Safety and Comfort Preparation for Long-Distance Cycling
Erik, a senior cyclist, emphasized the importance of considering safety and comfort precautions when cycling, especially long distances. He stated that in addition to ensuring physical fitness and roadworthy bikes, cyclists should also wear safety gear.
"Take frequent breaks to avoid pushing yourself when you're tired. We also have to wait for our teammates if we have them. Safety and comfort gear is essential, including a helmet, mandatory shoes, shin guards, gloves, and drinking water," Erik told RRI at the Gunung Putri PGV in Bogor on Sunday (April 21, 2024).
