There are many ways to prevent getting injured while riding your bike, Wearing a helmet will help you not get head injuries if you fall off of your bicycle. Using ice will calm down inflammation. Lowering your seat and making sure that your cleats aren't pushed all the way forward towards the toe will help to even out what muscles you're using to pedal. Adjust your bicycle to fit. Make sure you watch out for road hazards like cars and wild animals. Check your bicycle and makes sure nothing is loose or missing so it doesn't cause you to fall. Avoid riding at night if you don't have a light source with you because you want to make sure you look out for yourself.
