Code of Conduct

Advice to cyclists using shared paths:

• Be considerate of pedestrians, especially the elderly, infirm or partially sighted. Always use your bell, or say excuse me - many people are hard of hearing, so don't assume they have heard you.
• Be polite and courteous. Thank them if they have moved over for you.
• Always be prepared to slow down when approaching pedestrians and and stop if necessary.
• Keep as much room as possible between yourself and pedestrians - try not to squeeze past. Keep to your side where there is a white line dividing the path.
• Be especially cautious at blind spots, such as junctions. Don't ride into problems you can't see.
• Use your lights when there is poor visibility, such as fog.

Advice to pedestrians

• When using shared and segregated paths, keep to your side of the path and keep dogs under control.
• Please clear up all dog mess and place in bins provided.

Advice to drivers

• Cyclists have the same rights on the road - give them ample room at all times.
• Give particular attention to cyclists at junctions.
• Do not park in cycle lanes - you could be putting a cyclist in a dangerous situation.
