Maintain a steady straight line with no sudden movements. Be predictable with all your actions. Avoid braking or changing direction suddenly

Riders at the front and rear should warn of approaching cars, particularly on narrow roads. Call out for vehicles – shout “CAR FRONT!” & “CAR BACK!” Panicked cries are not necessary. Just shout loud enough for the person in front/behind to pass on the call

Point out and call out any road hazards ahead. These include potholes, drains, speed ramps, animals, parked cars, opening car doors, wet or icy road surface etc..

Be considerate to other traffic when riding in a group. If the roads are wide enough, ride two abreast so the group is compact and easier to overtake. Ride single file on narrower roads, but think about group size. Long straggling groups will be hard for cars to overtake safely.​

When climbing hills, avoid following a wheel too closely. Many riders often lose their momentum when rising out of the saddle on a hill which can cause a sudden deceleration. This can often catch a rider who is following too closely, resulting in a fall from a wheel touch.

Don’t panic if you brush shoulders, hands or bars with another rider. Try to stay relaxed in your upper body to absorb any bumps.

Wear a helmet on all rides and make sure your bike is in good working order.

Use mudguards in winter as a courtesy to other riders.
