Riding Best Practices
• Ensure pre ride checks are carried out before starting the bike
• Avoid hitting kerbs and other hazardous objects you may encounter and riding down large kerbs
• Avoid riding through potholes where possible. If they are unavoidable, slow down to reduce the
impact on the vehicle
• Where possible, use cycle lanes. Joining regular traffic is also possible where cycle lanes do not exist
or are too narrow.
• Continuous riding on poor quality roads can result in increased stresses to the vehicle. The
frequency of checks and maintenance MUST be increased in these circumstances.
