When riding bicycles, please follow the traffic rules and cycle safely.

1) The basic rule for bicycles is that they must be used on the road. Cycling on the pavement is the exception, not the rule.

2) You should cycle on the left hand side of the road.

3) On the pavement, pedestrians have right of way. Cycle on the side nearest the road.

4) Cycling under the influence of alcohol, riding double, or riding side-by-side is prohibited. When cycling at night, you should use lights. Please follow the traffic lights at intersections and remember to check for safety.

5) Make sure that children wear a helmet.
