Be Safe

Safety starts with YOU!

Are you sure that you are safe when you are on your bike? Staying safe when you are cycling is all about making the right choices. It's about what you wear, what you do, and where it is safe to ride.

Wearing bright clothes and having reflective strips on your bike is just the start. You also need to wear clothes that will protect you if you fall. Follow the 'rules of the road' and choose the safest route.

You also need a safe bike – one that is clearly visible to drivers and properly looked after. So what are you waiting for?
