To ensure a safe bike trip for you and your friend, you should start by wearing the appropriate safety gear such as helmets, reflective vests, and knee and elbow pads. Additionally, make sure to inspect your bike for any issues prior to heading out on the ride - checks should include brakes that are in working condition and tires with adequate pressure. Lastly, always wear bright colors so that drivers can easily see you when on the road. Following these precautions will help prevent any minor injuries from occurring while enjoying the ride!

Make sure to wear proper safety gear, such as a helmet and knee pads. Additional items to consider are reflective gear and bright clothing for low light or early morning rides, tube repair kits, bike multi-tools and spare inner tubes in case of punctures. Have your bike serviced regularly by a qualified technician to make sure it’s running smoothly and is ready for the task. As well as planning your route prior, so that you are aware of any particularly dangerous intersections or roads ahead of time that you might need to take extra caution when travelling through them. Finally if the road is unfamiliar - best practice is to limit discussion while in motion - so listen carefully at junctions and be prepared to stop if needed; ensuring there are no obstructions while moving or stopping along the route; this includes overhanging branches , cable stops , gravel and any oil/grease on the ground which can create slippery patches . Doing routine maintenance before each trip will ensure a safe outing between you both!
