Tips for cyclists

Here are some tips for cyclists to follow in order to ride safely:

  • always wear a helmet
  • ride in the same direction as traffic
  • ride in a straight line and don't weave
  • signal when you want to turn or pass
  • ride in single file when riding in a group

If you are cycling at night, you should always:

Tips for drivers

As a driver, you need to respect that cyclists have the right to share the road. Here are some tips to help you share the road:

  • if a lane is too narrow to safely share, cyclists are entitled to the whole travel lane

  • signal all turns and lane changes

Trail riding tips

Here are some safety tips when you are cycling on a cycling or multi-use trail:

  • ring a bell to announce that you are passing someone
  • show courtesy and respect to other trail users
  • yield to slower users
  • obey the rules of the trail
  • yield to traffic at the place where the trail crosses the road
  • ride on the right side of the trail
