Rear light / radar/ camera to maximise safety when riding on road

Hi everyone,

I’m a new road bike user and recently did my first ride, mostly on a dedicated bikeway with a short stretch on back streets. Unfortunately, I felt unsafe ( mostly lack of confidence), which made the entire journey mentally tiring.

I currently have a basic rear light from ROCKBROS, but I’m considering getting another one with additional features. I’d love to hear the general consensus and what you use:

- Radar
- Camera
- and how about those Rear lights with turn indication or safe distance line projection ? ( very skeptical about how useful they are in reality)

Cheers!

Safe cycle commute route chermside to RBWH

Hi everyone,
Beginner cyclist here. I’m looking at commuting between chermside and RBWH by bike, but I’m not very confident riding in traffic yet.
Are there any safer/beginner-friendly cycle routes between the two hospitals that use bikeways, quieter streets, or avoid the main roads as much as possible? I’m happy for it to be a bit slower if it feels safer.
Also, can anyone share their experiences on the RBWH Cycle Centre — security, access, availability, showers/lockers, etc?
Thanks!

Bike fit in Brisbane .

I’m on the hunt for my first road bike! I’m leaning towards the Merida Endurance 300 from 99bikes.

It’s an entry-level model, but it’s not exactly cheap. I want to get a bike that fits me .

The big question is: should I get a bike fit, or would the staffs at 99bikes be able to give me a pretty good fit?

Does anyone have any recommendations for bike fitting in Brisbane? I saw Bike Fit Studio (West End) and Dave Wadsworth (Cycle Physio, Milton) mentioned.

Thanks heaps!
