Cycling is a healthy and green way to travel; however, cyclists are a vulnerable road user group. It’s important to be aware how to stay safe when riding your bicycle.
Protective Gear
Always wear a properly fitted cycle helmet.
Padded gloves and knee and elbow pads can reduce injury risk
Visibility
White front lights, and red rear lights are legal requirements.
Hi-Vis equipment increases your visibility to other road users in low light conditions.
Rules of the Road
Cyclists must still follow the same traffic lights, signs, and road marking that motor vehicles do.
Cyclists are not legally required to use cycle lanes.
