Safety On Spokes Campaign

Over recent years, we’ve seen an increase in people riding bikes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. People turned to bikes as a way of avoiding crowds on public transport and needing to find a new way to exercise due to gyms being closed.  

Pop-up cycleways and lower speed zones have reduced barriers to riding, while providing safer riding routes.  Sadly COVID-19 also interrupted NSW Centre for Road Safety and Bicycle NSW joint road safety campaign efforts.

Our 2 month Safety on Spokes campaign in 2020 covered a range of bike related safety topics. Related articles are compiled below.
