When you ride your bike you should pay ''undivided'' attention to your surroundings. This means no earphones or headphones, no cellphone usage, no taking calls. Since you probably don't have a rear view mirror, remember to look back frequently when you are riding (and there's nothing in front), and at every intersection. If you are called, pick up only after you're in a position where you won't be in the way of or block any cars or pedestrians (such as on the sidewalk with your bike ''parallel'' to the road). | When you ride your bike you should pay ''undivided'' attention to your surroundings.

Check signs on or near the object). Β | Whenever you can't keep an eye on your bike or be with it, you should lock your bike.
