What was once a relatively predictable road environment has become far more varied and dynamic.
Cycle lanes are designed to improve safety and encourage sustainable transport, but traffic law still applies.
Road works are a common sight in spring and summer. Temporary speed limits and yellow-backed signs are there to protect both drivers and workers in high-risk environments.
Cyclists are vulnerable road users, but when riding on the road they are still classed as vehicle drivers. This means traffic laws apply in full — a fact that is often misunderstood.
Cycling is healthy and sustainable, but it comes with risks. Helmets are mandatory for under-16s and recommended for all. Bikes must have a bell, reflectors, and lights at night.
