Five Rules for Safe Bicycling

Safety and Peace of Mind!

(1) Ride bicycles on the road. Sidewalks
should be used only in special cases.

The TS Mark is “insurance”
that comes with inspection
and maintenance.

Bicycles are considered to be light roadvehicles under the Road Traffic Act. Therefore, they should be ridden on the roadwhere the sidewalk and road are clearlyseparated.

(2) Ride on the left.

RoadwayBicycles must stay on the left sideof the road.

(3) Pedestrians have priority on asidewalk. Pass them slowly on
the road side.
When on a sidewalk, ride at a speed
that allows you to stop quickly. You
must stop if you will block the passageof pedestrians.

(4) Obey traffic rules.
Do not ride
whenintoxicated.

Do notridedouble.

Use a light atnight.

Do notride sideby side.

When at an intersection, observe
existing traffic lights or stop and makesure it’s safe before proceeding.

(5) Children should wear helmets.
If you are the parent or guardian of achild or infant, make sure that yourchild wears a bicycle helmet.

Inspection and maintenance by a professional
bicycle mechanic bring peace of mind.
