Biker speaks on safety precautions he takes
Speaking exclusively with Legit.ng, a biker, Roid Fajingbesi, who once rode his bicycle from Bayelsa to Lagos, shed light on the safety precautions he usually takes when riding a bicycle across states.
"One of the major things I do is maintain the shoulder of the road and constantly watch what’s happening behind me.
"But beyond that, I ride with a mindset: I assume I’m the only fully alert person on the road.
"That means I’m always preparing for possible mistakes from drivers around me. The biggest discipline is focus. Once you lose focus on the road, even for a moment, the consequences can be deadly."
