We, bikers, are out there for no one but
ourselves on roads. It is your duty, as a rider,
to take care of yourself and your family. A
small lapse on your part and your family will
suffer the impact of your minor mistake.
RIDING SAFELY IN PANDEMIC TIMES
Inline-4 cares deeply for its family. As your
family, we are advising you to stay safe at your
homes. We know its very difficult to get up in
the morning and sit home, instead of going out
for a ride. But, at times, some emergencies can
arise when you would have to venture out despite
your will.
Enlisted above, are some of the precautions you
should follow in your daily lives. But, as a
rider, what precautions can you take during those
emergency times where you have no choice but to
step out? How can you, as a rider, take care of
yourself and your family? How can you make sure
that you are not playing any part in the spread
of the KILLER CORONA?

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON A RIDE? 1. Use your visor as
your shield against Coronavirus.
Wearing a mask at all times, is a non-negotiable
precaution. But, since we are a community of
bikers and riders we have the option of using
our visor as our mask. We can use the visor to
protect ourselves against any and all infections.
While riding, one should cover his/her face with
the visor in order to protect him and the others
around him. Also, when you step off your bike to
buy something or to get some work done, you
should not take off your helmet as it acts as
your shield. Also, carry an extra face mask
always. In the event that you have to take off
your helmet you can wear your face mask! 2.
Carry a small bottle of sanitizer with you
It is the most practical option to carry a small
bottle of sanitizer with you in your pocket or
your bag. Try to avoid touching any surfaces on
your journey and even if you have to touch them,
sanitize your hands, both before and after
touching the surface.

3. Sanitize your bike and helmet, before and
after the ride.
Plan your ride strategically and plan it well in
advance. Before going for a ride, you can
sanitize your bike and helmet with a surface
cleaner. After coming back from the ride, repeat
the same activity to be completely safe from
Coronavirus. 4. Physical distancing, not social
distancing!
The government has asked its citizens to maintain
a distance of at least 2 metres from other
people. Distancing yourself physically from other
people will help curb the spread of Coronavirus.

5. Protocol on clothing
Full sleeved clothes will prevent the direct
contact of the Coronavirus with your skin. Also,
as soon as one returns home, one should change
into some other pair of clothes and wash the
clothes that were worn outside. To disinfect the
clothes, one can use the following guide
MedicalNewsToday. 6. Pack your own tiffin to
avoid eating outside
It is not safe to eat from restaurants and
eateries outside since we can never be sure of
the hygiene measures the eateries are abiding
by. Instead, go old school, and pack yourself a
lunch with whatever dish you like. This way, you
wont have to stop your bike to eat food anywhere
and you are also sure of the quality of food
that you are eating.

In case, you have no alternative but to stop to
have a meal you should try and pick places
where you are sure that the food is being
prepared and served hygienically. Also, all
precautions should be taken to keep yourself and
the ones around you safe. 7. Carry your own
essentials with you
Avoid purchasing essentials in the midst of your
journey except if you are going to purchase
essentials only. Carrying your own essentials is
a very fruitful exercise as it helps to shorten
the length of your journey significantly and
also minimizes your contact with anybody
else. 8. Go Cashless
Instead of using cash to make or receive
payments, you can switch to e-money which is more
convenient and sanitary. Also, it does not
involve the exchange of notes which essentially
passes between your hands and thus, becomes a
carrier of germs. Besides, the penetration of
E-Money all over India has enabled us to explore
online options of payment So, why not take all
the benefits, if you can! Riding or even
venturing out of the house is not safe in these
pandemic times. We deeply love and care for our
family. Hence, we are urging you to not step out
unless it is really necessary. But, in times,
when it is extremely necessary to step out, do
follow all the precautions to STAY SAFE!

Personal Note Hey Rider We know it is
extremely gruesome to stay inside and not step
out. But we promise that there is a beautiful
world waiting to be discovered on your
motorcycle. We have all the time in the world to
do it together. But today, you need to stay alive
in order to feel alive later. This pandemic
might have gotten to our skin and throat and
lungs but we will not let it shatter our
spirits. We will put up a united face in these
unprecedented times of pandemic by staying in
our homes. We will get out of this, stronger than
ever. TOGETHER.
With a big heart and smile With love and passion
Your family Inline-4
