An important reminder about bike safety

Edition 3 – May 2021
We love that such a high number of our students and staff travel to and from school and between campuses on their bikes. Positive action for our precious environment!
It is vital that we all use our roads and bike paths responsibly, and according to the law. Please speak with your child if they ride their bike to school and ensure that they know the road rules and laws specifically relevant to cyclists.
In particular: • obey all traffic laws when riding on the roads • always wear a helmet • don’t ride on footpaths if you’re over 13 years of age • remember that on footpaths pedestrians must be given right of way • use bike lanes and cycle lanes where possible • use a ‘D lock – they really work • don’t ride bikes indoors or within school grounds. Remember that like everything else at APC, road use is about respect. Keep riding safely everyone!
Further information, including laws specific to cyclists and road use, can be found on the VicRoads website.
