The Bittern Line Partnership want you to enjoy
cycling to, from and around the Bittern Line. We offer the following
advice to help you to do this safely:
 |
Do not ride bikes anywhere on Railway Stations
|
|
Cycles are vehicles and must observe the Highway Code
|
|
Adopt a positive attitude on the road. Cycle confidently,
look behind you before signalling clearly and ride at least
2 feet (60cm) away from the kerb.
|
|
Wear bright or fluorescent clothing to make yourself more
visible to other road users. Reflective clothing is recommended
after dark - waterproof and warm clothing in case of changes
in weather
|
|
Before starting your journey ensure that your bike is roadworthy.
Check the brakes, chain, tyres, lights, gears and saddle height.
Ensure you have a rear red reflector.
|
|
Carry a pump, repair kit and small tools, spare inner tube,
a secure lock, a small supply of food and drink and some personal
identification.
|
|
When using shared cycle paths be courteous, cyclists must
give way to pedestrians, be aware of dogs and pass horses
with care, a bell is useful to alert others to your presence. |
