A. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
Cyclists need to be more careful than other road users, as it's much easier for you to get hurt. Remember that when you are on a cycle, you have no protection from dangers around you. Here are some suggestions on how to keep safe.
Don't use your mobile phone while cycling. This is because you need to look out for the road and other traffic.
You should always wear a helmet as this can cut down the risk of getting hurt on the head in an accident.
Do not change your direction suddenly. Show drivers what you plan to do in plenty of time. Always look carefully before you start, stop or turn. Let drivers know you have seen them.
Is your bike checked from time to time? If not, why not? Brakes(刹车) must work well in all conditions:dry and wet. Are the tyres(轮胎) in good condition to make sure of the safety of your trip?
Traffic laws apply(适用) to you as a cyclist, as well as other road users. Cyclists must obey traffic laws. It is against the law for them to take the following actions.
Run a red light, including lights at pedestrian(行人) crossings, unless there's a sign showing that cyclists are allowed to do this.
Ride across pedestrian crossings, unless you are allowed to. Don't cycle the wrong way up a one-way street, unless there's a sign showing that cyclists can do so.
