Are our Bicycles Safe?


Purchasing a bicycle - it is important to use reputable dealers who will ensure the bicycle is in a roadworthy condition and the proper size. The balls of both feet should touch the ground when the cyclist is seated on the saddle.

Rider too Small for Bicycle
Every time you and your children go cycling, make sure all bicycles are in good working order and there are no loose or broken parts. Always take the time to check that both brakes and lights are working properly and that the reflectors are clean. Check tyres for air and tread, pinching the tyres from the side to check the air pressure.
