Road safety is a shared responsibility. All cyclists should always abide by road traffic rules at all times.

When cycling…… The following are some of the safe cycling tips: Wear safe cycling attire –protective helmet, and use elbow pads and knee pads to cushion the impact of a fall. Wear light-coloured or reflective clothing to enhance your visibility to other road users. Ensure you have a front white light and rear red light or at least a reflector in low-light conditions. Ride a bicycle that fits you. Always check that your bicycle is in good working condition and is properly maintained.

REMEMBER THESE WHEN CYCLING ON THE ROAD: Act as if you’re a pedestrian – look right, left, and then right again. Be extra alert at road junctions – these are accident-prone areas. Stop your bicycle completely at “Give Way” and “Stop” signs. Before crossing at junctions with traffic lights, always look LEFT AND RIGHT. DO NOT carry a pillion rider. DO NOT ride in a zigzag manner. DO NOT use your phone, carry things, walk a dog, hold an umbrella, or otherwise occupy one hand while cycling.
