Bike and Walking Tracks

Walking and cycling for exercise is not only great fun, it is low cost and can be done alone or with others.

Cycling with Care
  1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding.
  2. Be visible at all times. Ensure your front and back lights are working and always use the appropriate signals.
  3. Keep to the left at all times and obey all traffic and bicycle laws.
  4. On shared pathways be aware of other users. Always expect the unexpected!
  5. Don't carry passengers unless you have approved equipment.
  6. Always carry a secure bike lock and lock your bike in places of high visibility.
Walking with Care
  1. When crossing roads, remember; Stop, Look and Listen.
  2. Where possible, cross at pedestrian crossings or at locations where you have a clear view of all traffic and where drivers can see you.
  3. Be Seen! Wear light coloured clothing, and at night a reflective aid is useful.
  4. Walking with someone is safer than walking on your own. Encourage family, friends or a neighbour to join you.
