Personal protective equipment
Wear appropriate clothing and a secure helmet every time you get on your bike.
Protective clothes
Jackets and trousers should give you enough protection from impact, abrasion, cold and weather conditions.
Use body armour on exposed areas such as the back, knees, elbows, shoulders, hips and shins. This should be adjustable so it fits snugly and does not move in a crash.
You should wear a good reflective jacket, to make you more visible on
the road.
Wear protective gloves, and footwear that comes above the ankle at
least.
