Be safe whilst cycling

Although throughout Loughborough there are a number of cycle routes it is essential you remain safe whilst cycling.

These are our top tips…

  • Always wear a helmet, in the case of an accident this can prevent serious head injury and possibly save your life!
  • Wear suitable clothing, something that will not hinder you or get caught in the wheels or peddles whilst you are riding
  • Always be visible, wear bright coloured clothing ideally with reflective materials to ensure you can always be seen
  • Use Lights when it’s dark. In conjunction with Hi Visibility clothing you should always ensure other road users and pedestrians can see you
  • Use cycle paths where they are available. Slow down and use your bell to let people know you are there.
