⚠️Ride with Caution

- Cyclists are advised to reduce speed and avoid sudden movements such as sharp braking or quick turns. Maintaining a safe position on the road—well away from parked cars and other vehicles—is key to avoiding accidents. In icy conditions, brake early and gently, favouring the rear brake. Riders should avoid pedalling or braking in corners and coast through any unexpected patches of black ice.

🔧Prep Your Bike and Yourself

- Regular maintenance is vital. Lights, tires, and brakes should be checked frequently. Planning a well-lit route and checking the weather forecast can help avoid surprises. Riders should dress in layers, including a windproof jacket, thermal jersey, insulating gloves, and overshoes to keep feet warm. Clear glasses can shield eyes from wind, rain, and debris.

👜Carry an Emergency Kit

- A basic repair kit—including spare lights or batteries—can be a lifesaver in case of breakdowns. Cyclists are encouraged to keep one on hand for every ride.
