    As pandemic restrictions are easing up to allow more people to travel, it’s a great time to go on a long range tour with your bike. There is nothing like hitting the road after being stuck at home for a few months.

    However, don’t let your excitement trump the need for safety. You still need to steer clear of potential risks  — and we’re not just talking about wading through traffic. Whether you are riding a dirt bike or a cafe racer, here are a few tips to ride safely in the time of COVID-19.

    1. Wear a mask

    No biker would want to set out without wearing proper padding and a sturdy helmet that covers the entire face. It’s important to remember that we are currently in a “new normal” where facemasks are crucial, not only for your safety but for the safety of others. Although disposable face masks are adequate, they are less environment-friendly compared to washable masks. You only need to choose a face mask made from breathable materials that reduce moisture buildup and is easier to clean. With the right mask, you can prevent droplets from spreading.

    2. Ride in loose groups

    If you are a regular group rider, you will need to follow local regulations regarding the number of people that are allowed to congregate. Even if you are in a state that still permits mass gatherings, your biking group should observe proper social distancing. Make sure to maintain a distance of at least six feet from each other, whether you’re on the road or stopping for breaks.

    3. Assess your health

    In these trying times, it pays to be cautious with your health and well-being. If you are planning to bike to your favorite destinations, you need to check yourself ahead of time for possible symptoms of COVID-19. If you have a fever above 37.5 degrees and a dry cough, you may have to cancel your plans and get yourself tested.

    4. Disinfect wherever you go

    It’s important to remember that the coronavirus has a high transmission rate, meaning you can catch it very easily. Observing social distancing rules and wearing facemasks should provide enough protection, but there’s no harm in being extra cautious. Bring along a small bottle of hand sanitizer or liquid soap and find time to wash your hands before and after riding. Make sure to bring a spray bottle containing alcohol so you can easily disinfect your seats, gloves, and everything else you come into contact with.

    5. Steer clear of accidents

    Of course, you wouldn’t want to forget the basics of keeping yourself safe, whether you are casually cruising or racing. Pandemic or not, it’s still important to stay mindful as you ride along busy highways. After all, COVID-19  isn’t the only threatening thing out there. You should also be careful around cyclists, whether you are in North Carolina or New York. Unless you want someone to contact a bicycle accident attorney in Raleigh or Albany, you should follow standard safety procedures while you are on the road.

    Don’t let COVID-19 stop you from enjoying the sport you love; Just make sure that you stay safe while you ride!

    • The first customer Maserati MC20 has landed in SA finished in Bianco Audace. We are expecting 9 units to arrive this year. 

The base comes in at R6,714,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo 3-litre V6 delivering 620 hp (463 kW) and 730 Nm of torque.

It is a very pretty thing. What do you all think?

    • The latest BMW X4 M Competition is undeniably quick. It packs a rip-snorting engine delivering bonkers acceleration and some seriously impressive handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

This LCI model boasts a sweet technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model.

The ride however is a tad hard-edged and the X3 M Competition alternative does offer more practicality. If you prefer coupe-like styling this is the one for you even if Sao Paulo Yellow may not be your first choice.
