Wear an approved safety helmet. Always fasten it securely, following the manufacturer's instructions. Always wear a helmet.
Wear brightly coloured or reflective clothing when cycling – you'll be easier to see.
Ride only on the road (unless you're delivering newspapers, mail or leaflets, or there is a sign indicating the footpath is a shared pedestrian and cycle path).
At intersections:
follow the rules for motor vehicles, or
get off your cycle and walk across.
If space allows, you can ride alongside another cyclist or moped. You must not ride alongside a car, truck or other motor vehicle.
Ride in single file if passing another vehicle.
Give a hand signal at least three seconds before stopping or turning.
Only carry a pillion passenger on your cycle if you have a pillion seat and footrest.
If you're carrying a child, make sure the pillion seat protects the child's legs from the wheels.
You must not leave a cycle blocking a footpath.
Use cycle paths or lanes, where provided.
Ride with lights on when it’s dark (from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise) or at other times of poor visibility, eg when it’s foggy.
Keep your cycle in good working condition.
Always wear shoes, as your pedals will dig in to your feet.
