Safety

We are taking the following measures to be safe:

  • Selecting bright coloured clothing when possible
  • Using multiple front and rear lights (including front flashing lights during the day)
  • Using mirrors and Garmin radars to detect vehicles behind us
  • Tracking our location with a Garmin in-reach personal locator beacon
  • Telling people about our plans
  • Planning food and water resupplies and contingencies
  • Riding as a pair, with complimentary skills
  • Carrying a first aid kit and bike tools and spares
  • Broadcasting a message on two-way radio
  • Contacting Haul and Transport companies in advance to alert road trains and HV’s as much as possible of our presence on the road.
