Stay Cycle Safe!

Cycling is great fun and an excellent way to get around. Here are a few simple tips to stay safe when sharing the road.
  • Be Seen - Wear high visibility or brightly coloured clothing and use lights. 
  • Be Aware - Watch for car doors opening, potholes, rubbish, grates, and pedestrians. Always check for left turning vehicles.  
  • Be Predictable - Make eye contact with other road users. Maintain a straight line and don’t pass on the left hand side.  
  • Be Confident - Use hand signals and a bell. Ride at least one metre from parked cars. Use the cycle or traffic lane. 
  • Be Safe - Follow the road rules and choose the safest route.  
  • Be Patient - Slow down near parked or lined up vehicles. Pass slowly and only when safe.
  • Be Prepared - Wear an approved helmet and check your bike regularly - brakes, tyres, chain, lights, reflectors.
