One of Bicycle NSW's three policy pillars is Safe Home
Safe riding is essential for all cyclists to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road. Bicycle NSW provides valuable resources and guidelines to help cyclists ride safely. Key tips include wearing a properly fitted helmet, using bike lanes where available, and following road rules such as stopping at red lights and giving hand signals when turning. It's also important to plan your route, use lights and reflective clothing in low light conditions, and regularly maintain your bike.
Stay informed and ride safely!
