Pre-Ride Safety Checklist for Riders
Article summary
A short checklist worth running through before any ride, not just long ones.
In this guide
The Checklist
Tyre pressure and visible tread, both brakes (front and rear) responding firmly, headlight and indicators working, chain not visibly loose or dry, and mirrors properly adjusted.
Why It's Worth Two Minutes
Most of these checks take seconds and catch the kind of small issue — a soft tyre, a dim brake light — that's easy to miss until it becomes a bigger problem on the road.
