I'm thinking of buying a bike for commuting to work. What safety gear do I need?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
That's a great idea. For commuting, you'll need a helmet, front and rear lights, and reflectors on your pedals and back of the bike.<|im_end|>

Are there any specific rules I should follow while riding?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, always follow traffic rules, ride in the same direction as cars, and use designated bike lanes when available. Also, be aware of your surroundings and signal before turning.<|im_end|>

What if it's dark or raining? Are there any special precautions?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
In low light or rain, reduce your speed, use extra caution, and make sure your lights are visible. You may also consider wearing reflective or bright clothing to increase visibility.<|im_end|>
