Cycling safely

Safety

• Most of the routes are not off road. You will meet cars and other vehicles.
• Wear a safety helmet.
• Ensure your bike is safe to ride.
• After dark you are required by law to display working lights.
• Wear brightly coloured clothes with reflective material.
• Treat pedestrians and horses with the respect you expect to get from car drivers.
• Get a bell and use it to warn others of your approach.
• Always ride in single file when roads are narrow or busy, and never more than two abreast

Always follow the advice for cyclists given in the Highway Code.

Waymarking

Waymarking sign 
Signs like this are positioned to guide you round the route in an anti-clockwise direction. This will make the majority of the turns left turns, thus your journey will be a little safer.
