Communication challenges in cycling are manifold, and a cycling two-way radio reduces the likelihood of getting separated from the rest of the group while traveling. The use of hand/arm signals is limited by the need to maintain control of the motorcycle/bike, and shouting is not practical in the presence of road noise. When traveling in a multi-vehicle group, bike / motorcycle two-way radios are an effective tool for maintaining contact between various members of the group.
Each motorcycle/bicycle is equipped with a radio unit that enables instant communication among all occupants. This makes it easy to coordinate route changes, stop for rest or refueling, and notify other members of the group of distress situations without distracting them from the road.
- Communication range; distances of a mile or more are common in riding. If a member of the group stops at a traffic signal, this distance can cause radio communication to fail. Therefore, communication range is the most important element to emphasize when using radio communication.
- Headset Compatibility: Maintaining control of the motorcycle/bicycle is critical to the safety of the rider. Therefore, it is essential to have a comfortable headset or earphone to ensure safe communication between team members.
- Battery life: The battery life of the radio is critical for users who plan to ride long distances. It is therefore wise to choose a model with a long battery life, or one that is capable of using standard AA or AAA batteries in an emergency.
