Share with care
Some cycle paths are shared with other users. Don't forget to:
- give way to pedestrians, wheelchair users and horse riders, making sure you give them plenty of room
- keep to your side of any dividing line
- be prepared to slow down and stop if necessary
- do not expect to cycle at high speeds
You should only cycle on pavements where signs show it is allowed.
