PLANNING – CHECK LIST

• Do you know where you are going and how long it will take? Have you made sure all the family can cope with the distance and terrain (eg hills)? • Have you got food and drink if necessary? • Has everyone has got suitable clothing, and are prepared for changes in the weather? • Is everyone clear on the order you will be cycling in and how you will tackle turnings, junctions or obstacles? • Have you checked everyone’s shoelaces are tied and that there is nothing hanging down which could get caught in the chain or brakes? • Have you done an equipment check? • Do ensure that helmets fit tightly around the circumference of the head and the strap is secure below the chin, with enough room to fit two fingers between the strap and the chin. • Check the bikes over first using the M or

ABC check (some advice from our friends at Sustrans) Also explained in our Parent’s

Handbook

RIDING AS A GROUP

• It is a good idea to position the children who are most proficient at cycling at the front. If there are two parents, then the best option is to have one in front and one at the back. If there is only one parent, make a considered decision about whether it is safe enough to have more than two children in the group • You may ride side by side with you children, position yourself on their right. (The Highway

Code advises you not to ride more than two abreast) • When you are on the road, ride as a unit and keep the together as one piece of traffic. Your aim will be to negotiate junctions together, tackling the priority system as one. Rather than dashing across individually

JUNCTIONS

T-junctions, side roads, crossroads and roundabouts are all negotiated using the same basic sequence, there are always four things to do: • Look: Behind and ahead, consider rights of way and consider time and space • Communicate: By signalling your intentions if other road users are present • Position: When time and space permit, approach the junction in primary position, hold primary position through to the junction exit • Priority: Give way where you need to, if crossing a lane or entering a new lane and other road users have right of way.
