All about Bicycle Safety
Cycling is a fun way to get around, and it is safer when you follow the rules of the road. Always wear a properly fitted helmet, ride in the correct direction and use hand signals to show when you are turning or stopping.
Check your brakes and tyres before each ride, and make sure your bike is the right size for you. Wear bright clothes and use lights when it is dark or cloudy. Ride predictably and watch out for pedestrians, parked cars and car doors.

It should sit level on your head, cover your forehead, and the straps should be snug under your chin, with no more than two fingers fitting between the strap and your chin.
Should I ride on the pavement?
Check local rules. Many places want cyclists on the road or in cycle lanes, and riding on the pavement can be dangerous for pedestrians.

Brakes are essential for stopping safely, so check they work before every ride.
