Safety riding rules

1. Helmet
Most important rule for bikers - Always wear a helmet

2. Never Ride Beyond Your Abilities
There is no shame in walking sections of the trail you don't feel confident enough to ride

3. Keep Your Speed in Check
Always keep your speed at a level that will allow you to adjust to any unforeseen obstacles or changes in trail condition.

4. Know the Trail
Never push the limits on a trail you are not familiar with. You need to get to know the trail you are riding at slower speeds before you can ride it like the trails you are used to.

5. Slow Down for Blind Corners
You never know what or who is around a corner when you can't see past it.

6. On the right side of the road
In Vietnam people ride on the right side of the road. You need to do the same as them

7. Drink enough water
Drink before you feel thirsty

8. Stop and Look
Stop and look at sections of the trail that look like they may pose a challenge before you ride them.
