7.Don't jump with your bike. Jumping a bike, particularly a BMX or mountain bike, can be fun; but it puts incredible stress on everything from your spokes to your pedals. Perhaps most vulnerable to jumping- related damage is your front fork. Riders who insist on jumping their bikes risk serious damage, to their bicycles as well as to themselves.
8.Think about your speed, and keep your speed at a level which is consistent with conditions. Always keep in mind that there is a direct relationship between speed and control, and between speed and component stress.
B. RULES OF THE ROAD
1.Learn the local bicycle laws and regulations. Many communities have special regulations about licensing of bicycles, riding on side- walks, laws regulating bike path and trail use, and so on. Many states have helmet laws, child carrier laws and special bicycle traffic laws. In the U.S. and in most foreign countries, a bicyclist is required to obey the same traffic laws as the driver of a car or motorcycle. It's your responsibility to know and obey the laws.
2.You are sharing the road or the path with others
