Bike safety tips
Thinking of delivering food on a bike? Here are a few suggestions from courier partners that you might want to know before you ride.
The right gear is important
Our Community Guidelines recommend that you find a helmet that fits properly if you’re riding a bike, motorcycle, or scooter. According to safety experts, helmets can help protect you when worn according to the manufacturer’s instructions: low on your forehead and snug under your chin.
Courier partners also point out that closed-toed shoes and a waterproof and windproof jacket with a reflective element allows for protection from weather and visibility on the road.
