Cycle Safety

Another few words of advice to help those of you who cycle during the winter nights stay safe:-

Ensure that you and your bike are visible to other road users by using a good set of front and rear lights (white at the front, red at the back). 

Wear clothes that help you be seen on your bike, such as bright and light reflective items.

Obey road signs and markings, particularly red lights. 

Do not cycle on the pavements, which may be slippery and can also endanger pedestrians.

Be mindful of the effects poor weather can have on other road users and be alert to possible dangers around about you - Cars can take twice as long to stop in wet weather and braking can be unpredictable in ice and snow. 

Just be careful out there.
