Cycle training
There are lots of free cycle training courses available and we encourage you to attend a course and read up on cycle safety before venturing out on your bike in London. Some great courses and resources can be found at:
Some top tips from TfL:
- Stop at red lights. Don't ride through red traffic lights. You may be fined £50
- Stay central on narrow roads. Try to ride away from the gutter. If the road is too narrow for vehicles to pass you safely, it might be safer to ride towards the middle of the lane to prevent dangerous overtaking by other vehicles
- Stay away from parked cars. Ideally, keep a door's width away in case the door opens suddenly. Also, try to ride in a straight line past parked cars rather than dodging between them
- Stay back from HGVs. Lorries and other large vehicles might not be able to see you clearly, so stay well back behind them
- Always pay attention. Stay focused on what's going on around you so you can see what other road users might do
- Make eye contact. Try to make eye contact with drivers so you're sure that they have seen you
- Don't pavement cycle. Don't cycle on the pavement or up a one-way street (unless clearly marked for cyclists)
- Wear bright clothes. Stay safe by wearing bright clothes during the day and reflective clothing/accessories at night
- Night lights. Use lights after dark - white at the front and red at the rear. You may be fined £50 if you don't have them
- Reflectors. Your bike must also be fitted with a red rear reflector, and also amber pedal reflectors if it's manufactured after 1985
- Signal. Use appropriate hand signals to indicate that you're turning left or right
- No phones or devices. Don't use a mobile phone or earphones
- Helmet. Wear a helmet when Cycling.
