Cycling is a fun way of getting around, it is also an excellent way of keeping you fit and healthy. To make sure you remain as safe as possible when cycling out and about please read the tips below:
- wear a safety helmet
- keep your bike in good working order
- always look like you know where you’re going
- make sure your lights are in good working order
- wear brightly coloured or reflective clothing so that you can easily be seen by other road users and pedestrians
- obey the rules of the road and make sure you are aware of your surroundings
- avoid short-cuts, never cycle anywhere you wouldn’t walk
To keep your bike safe do the following:
- Property mark your bike with bike label (contacts the community safety team or local police station)
- buy a secure chain or padlock
- whether at home or out and about, lock your bike securely
- register your bike for free at www.immobilise.com and increase the chance of recovering any property that gets stolen
