THE
GOOD CYCLE GUIDE
When
cycling on shared use paths please:
- Give way to pedestrians
and horse riders, leaving them plenty of room.
- Be prepared to slow down
or stop if necessary.
- Don't expect to cycle at
high speeds.
- Be careful at junctions,
bends and entrances.
- Remember that some people
are hard of hearing or visually impaired - don't
assume they can see/hear you.
- Carry a bell and use it
- don't surprise people and horses.
When
cycling on roads please:
- Always use the Highway
code.
- Fit and use lights in poor
visibility
- Keep your bike roadworthy
- Be seen - most accidents
to cyclists happen at junctions
- Wear a helmet
- Take your litter home
When
cycling in country areas:
- Follow the country code
- Respect other land management
activities such as farming or forestry
- Keep erosion to a minimum
if off road
- Be self-sufficient - carry
food, repair kit and weatherproofs
- Try to cycle or use public
transport to travel to and from the start and finish
of your ride
- Leave the countryside as
you would like to find it!
