There’s nothing quite like exploring Bali’s breathtaking landscapes with your crew riding alongside you. From the scenic coastlines of Uluwatu to the vibrant streets of Canggu, riding in a group is not only fun, it’s a memory in the making. But to make sure your adventure goes smoothly, safety must come first.
At Hello Motors Bali, we care about your ride and your ride or dies. So here are some key tips to ride safely and responsibly with your gang in Bali.
1. Plan Your Route Before You Roll
Bali’s roads can be unpredictable, especially during peak hours or in unfamiliar areas. Avoid unnecessary stops or confusion by mapping out your route beforehand. Share it with everyone in your group, and pick designated meeting points in case someone gets separated.
2. Keep the Formation Tight, But Not Too Tight
When riding in a group, maintain a staggered formation, this gives everyone enough space to react while keeping the squad tight and organized. Never ride side by side; it reduces maneuverability and can be dangerous on Bali’s narrower roads.
3. Stay Visible, Day and Night
Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially for night rides. Use your headlights at all times, and ensure your brake and indicator lights are working. You want to be seen from a distance, both by cars and other riders.
4. Communicate Clearly and Often
Use hand signals to communicate intentions like turning or stopping. It’s also wise to agree on basic signals before the ride. If someone has a mechanical issue or needs to pull over, let the group know and stop in a safe area off the road.
5. Respect Local Traffic Rules
Bali may seem chill, but traffic laws still apply. Always wear helmets, follow speed limits, and avoid weaving between cars. Police do patrol, and fines or worse, can quickly turn your island ride into a buzzkill.
6. Know Your Crew’s Skill Levels
Not everyone may be equally confident on a motorbike. Make sure to ride at a pace that works for everyone. More experienced riders should take the lead and the rear to support those in the middle.
7. Fuel Up & Gear Up
Before hitting the road, check your fuel, tires, brakes, and lights. Make sure everyone has enough water, sunscreen, and charged phones. If you’re renting from Hello Motors Bali, rest assured, all our bikes are regularly maintained for top performance and safety.
Final Thoughts: Make Memories, Not Mayhem
Riding with your crew in Bali should be thrilling in the best way. By staying alert, respectful, and prepared, you’ll make every ride smooth and unforgettable.
