Safety Ride

Motorcycle safety is critical for the biking community. Riding with the right gear on roads is imperative & ensures that a rider has adequate protection while riding; be it within the city or on the track. We as riders respect safety guidelines that are not only beneficial to us but to our fellow commuters on the road. Biking with the right motorcycle gear not only saves us from any potential dangers but may even inspire regular commuters to at least purchase a sturdy helmet. Riding in proper formation while riding in a group, hand signals, ensuring that you aren’t riding under substance influence, a thorough bike health check, ensuring you have a first aid kit with you at all times, are some of the very many riding procedures that are mandatory for bikers to follow.
