Cyclists: Sharing Paths Safely
Sharing space with pedestrians, horse riders and horse drawn vehicles. When riding in places where sharing with pedestrians, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles is permitted, take care when passing pedestrians and horse riders, especially children, older adults or disabled people. Slow down when necessary and let them know you are there; for example, by ringing your bell (it is recommended that a bell is fitted to your bike), or by calling out politely.
💡Example
When cycling in shared spaces with pedestrians and horse riders, always pass carefully and alert them to your presence. For instance, if you're riding on a shared path and see a family with young children ahead, slow down and ring your bell to ensure they are aware of you before you pass.
