Cycling

Travelling by bike can be one of the safest and most enjoyable ways to get around. However, there are some important tips to remember:

> Keep your bike in good working order.

> Repairs are best done at home rather than on the road.

> Pedal safely but positively.

> Appear to have a sense of purpose.

> Look competent and wear the right gear.

> Dress to be seen and safe: reflectors, toe clips and helmet.

> Have the correct accessories such as lights in good working order.

> Mirrors can be helpful and a piercing loud horn is great in emergencies.

> Avoid short-cuts even if you are in a hurry.

> Keep moving if someone signals for help. Wave to show you have registered the problem and go on to the next convenient phone.

> Don’t be afraid to pedal hard out of or around potential trouble.

> Always carry a mobile telephone, phone card or change for the phone box.
