Safe Cycling!

Here is my T. This picture shows who goes first! Natasha




Here is a picture of some lizards showing the right road rules. Casey.

 This is my picture that I made on Paint. It tells you who goes first. Flossie
Road Rules For Bikes:
  • If there's a bike path then you can ride their or on the road. Where there is no cycle path you must ride on the road and keep as far left as possible to be safe.
  • You should only be on the footpath if you are under 10 and without an adult or delivering mail.
  • You may ride in the bus lanes but if there's a sign forbidding this then do not.
  • If you are riding with other cyclists then don’t ride more the two abreast. But if near vehicles and other riders be in single file.
  • Strong, bold and clear arm signals to stop, turn or reduce speed.
  • You must wear and helmet that fits correctly.
  • Follow the same road rules as a vehicle at intersections.
  • You must have a light on your bike at night.
  • Have everything checked before you go out on the road.
  • Wear a hi-viz jacket to be properly protected (Only if it is like a misty or gray day)
