Shared path safety
It is important for cyclists and pedestrians to be mindful of each other on shared paths so all users are safe. Here are some pointers on how to safely share space as a cyclist:
- Cyclists are required to give away to pedestrians on shared paths, and to keep left unless it is impractical to do so.
- Ring your bell or use your voice to provide a friendly warning before passing other riders or pedestrians.
- Travel at a safe speed so you can stop quickly if necessary and take particular care around pedestrians.
