When biking with a friend, you should wear appropriate safety gear such as helmets, gloves and protective eyewear, and make sure your bike is in good working order. You can also share the basic principles of safe riding—remind each other to always follow the rules of the road, respect stopping signs, signals and lane markings to be seen and heard by motorists, avoid riding excessively fast or weaving through traffic while paying attention to the conditions around you. Additionally one must always check for any potential obstacles before beginning a trip and plan out necessary refuel spots in order for their friend to get back home safely.

There are several safety measures you can take to help protect your friend while riding bikes together. Ensure your friend is wearing a helmet, as head injuries are among the most serious types of injuries that could occur. Have both of you wear reflective clothing and make sure your bike has working front and rear lights in order to help other vehicles or pedestrians on the roadway see you during nighttime or low light conditions. Before setting out, inspect your bicycle's brakes and tires to make sure they are functioning properly. During the ride, practice safe stopping techniques and keep an attentive lookout for debris or other road hazards that may lead to an accident. Finally, make sure everyone is using hand signals when turning or changing lanes in order to reduce chance of a potential collision among group riders. These simple measures should go a long way in reducing the likelihood of harm sustained while engaging in this exciting activity together!
