Your Endurance Lifestyle. Redesigned.

Here we are with the second half of our look at triathlon bike safety. In Part One I looked at the macro-level elements of riding safely; in this post we’ll look at more specific steps you can take to improve your chances of riding unscathed. While some of these tips are obvious, I hope you can take away some new things…feel free to add your comments below!

It seems every time I turn on the computer I am reading another article about a pro triathlete recovering from a bicycle accident or crash. To all of those still forging a recovery from this setback, best of luck! To all of you who haven’t had a near-death experience on the bike, I am here to say that it’s only a matter of time until Miss Fortune sends trouble your way. This is the first part of a look at tips on how to make riding a bit safer as you train for your next event.

Day Two found me just a little bit tired from the Friday afternoon bike ride…dowh! I got up early and got in a quick 4 miles + 100 pushups + Crunches. Some quick coffee and it was off to Fitzburgh Road. Some of the Austin Sleeper Cell let me know it was good, and Margot was kind enough to lead me out. Barely any traffic, plenty of hills and great scenery — this was awesome!
