Useful contacts
Why cycle? • To save time – it’s often the quickest way to get
around and parking is free and easy.
It’s free • It keeps you fit whilst you get from A to B –
regular cyclists are as fit as a person 10 years younger and have a reduced risk of heart disease or stroke.
• To enjoy the open spaces and countryside.
Cycling tips • Ride assertively – cycle well out from the kerb
so that you are visible to motorists. This will discourage them from overtaking too closely.
• Be aware – watch out for car doors opening and make eye contact with drivers waiting to pull out.
• Don’t overtake lorries or buses on the left at junctions as they have a blind spot and there could be fatal consequences.
• Master the backward look – practice looking back over your right shoulder so you can turn right or overtake without wobbling.
• Always ensure your bike is roadworthy and the brakes work properly.
• Cyclists can use byways and bridleways. Do not cycle on footpaths unless you have the landowner’s permission.
Do’s and dont’s • Be considerate to pedestrians – they should be
given priority on shared paths, so slow down and use your bell.
• Don’t cycle on the pavement unless there are blue signs indicating that they are designated cycle routes.
• Use lights at night – reflective clothing is also a good idea.
• Only use one-way streets in the permitted direction and obey traffic signs and lights.
• Obey red lights.
Cycle parking Lock your bike! Ten bikes per day are stolen in Cambridge, often from gardens or sheds. Always lock your bike to a fixed object, with a good lock, even for the briefest of stops.Register your bike at www.immobilise.com
