Egypt’s streets can be brutal — traffic chaos, unpredictable drivers, and potholes from hell. But with the right mindset and technique, you can dominate them like a true street warrior. Here are 7 essential riding tips:
1. Stay Defensive, Not Aggressive
Always assume others don’t see you. Ride like you’re invisible — it’ll save your life.
2. Avoid the Blind Spots
Cars, buses, and especially microbuses have dangerous blind spots. Stay where you can be seen — not squeezed.
3. Night Riders: Stay Lit
Make sure your lights are bright, your reflectors are on point, and wear something that glows in the dark. Cairo by night = survival of the brightest.
4. Use the Rear Brake Wisely
Too much front brake and you’ll kiss the asphalt. Learn how to balance both.
5. Gear Up — Always
A helmet isn’t an option, it’s your lifeline. Gloves, jackets, and proper boots save skin and bones.
6. Learn the Rhythm of Traffic
Ride often enough, and you’ll learn the unspoken language of the street. Timing is everything.
7. Respect the Road, But Own It
Confidence keeps you sharp. Fear makes you freeze. Know your limits, but don’t ride scared.
Gear up, stay smart, and remember — the streets don’t play fair, but you can outplay them.
