warringah.nsw.gov.au Life’s better on a Bike! • Get fit! Use your bike for short trips to work, the bus stop, shops, beach and to visit friends, instead of the car! • Save time and money – cycle! • Cycle to reduce CO2 emissions and park easily. • Encourage your employer to develop a sustainable workplace travel plan – ie provide incentives to cycle, car pool, or take public transport to work. Using this Map Warringah’s cycling map is designed to help navigate via the best cycling routes. These routes are not always the most direct but are usually the best by bike. To help you choose a suitable route, hillier sections are indicated with arrows, pointing up major hills. Cycling on Roads in Warringah Expect more traffic at higher speeds on Pittwater Road, Condamine Street,Mona Vale Road, Wakehurst Parkway, Warringah Road and Forest Way. There are usually alternative routes. Cyclists are allowed to ride in Bus Lanes, eg on Pittwater Road and Condamine Street. Cyclists are not allowed to ride in Bus Only Lanes. Cyclists must take proper care for their own safety and be aware of the inherent dangers when interacting with other path users and on road traffic, observing all road rules. Shared Path and Off-Road Routes The map indicates shared path and off road routes. Some of these are important links, providing low stress cycling options. Mountain bike trails are also shown. Warringah Bike Plan For more information on the future bicycle network planned for Warringah, view the Warringah Bike Plan warringah.nsw.gov.au CYCLING MAP Warringah 2012 Bicycle Road Rules and Regulations A bicycle is considered as a vehicle under the law. Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers. Cyclists must obey the road rules, including stopping at red lights or stop signs, giving way as indicated by signage and giving hand signals when changing direction or stopping. A Cyclist: • Must wear an approved bike helmet. • Must use a shared path or marked bicycle lane where provided unless it is impractical to do so. • Can ride two abreast, no more than 1.5m apart. • Can travel in Bus Lanes and Transit Lanes, except Bus Only Lanes. • Under 12 year olds and an accompanying adult are permitted to ride on footpaths. • Can overtake another vehicle on the left except when that vehicle is turning left and giving a left change of direction signal. • Can travel to the front of a line of traffic on the left hand side of the stopped vehicles. • Can turn right from the left hand lane of a multi- lane roundabout as long as you give way to any other vehicle leaving the roundabout. • Must walk, not ride, across pedestrian crossings unless bicycle lights are provided. • Must keep to the left of a footpath or shared path and give way to pedestrians and oncoming cyclists. A Bike: • Must have at least one working brake and either a bell or horn. • Must have a steady or flashing white light at the front and a red rear reflector and steady or flashing red light at the rear for night riding. Basic Bicycle Maintenance Always carry a pump, tyre levers, spare tube, tube patch kits, water bottle, mobile phone and money. Check your tyre condition and pressure, quick release levers and brakes regularly. Clean the drive chain on your bicycle regularly and then apply lubricant. Wipe off the excess as it attracts dirt – less is more! If you do not feel confident working on your bike, take it to a good bicycle shop for servicing. Report a Hazard If you see a bicycle hazard or problem on the road or path, fill in the ‘Report a cycle safety hazard’ form at bicycleinfo.nsw.gov.au under Riding Safely. Involved in an Accident? • Make the location as safe as possible. • Seek medical treatment as appropriate. • Write down the details of the incident. • Report the incident to the Police (crash data helps improve the cycling network). Safe Cycling Tips • Be seen! When riding at night wear light coloured, reflective clothing. • Glasses protect your eyes from glare, dirt, dust and insects. • Buy a bike that fits you in size and purpose. • Momentum is the friend of every cyclist. You will be able to cycle much further if you use easy gears and spin the pedals at 70 to 90 revolutions per minute. • Do not necessarily cycle where you drive. The safest or fastest cycle route may be quite different. Use this map as a guide to some of the more popular cycling routes. • People riding a bike are allowed to take up a whole lane. Be politely assertive. Riding in the gutter is dangerous as it leaves no room for avoiding obstacles and invites being squeezed by cars. • Avoid the squeeze by taking over your lane before navigating narrow sections, over speed humps and roundabouts. At roundabouts signal your intentions clearly and always be prepared to stop as motorists are not always ready to give way to cyclists. • Keep a safe distance from parked cars. A car door that is suddenly opened can cause a serious accident. • Be predictable – do not weave in and out of parked cars or traffic. • Make eye contact with drivers at intersections. Make sure they have seen you before moving in front of their path. Shared Paths, Off Road Routes and Mountain Bike Trails Please be considerate of pedestrians and other riders: • Keep left. • Be aware of others and slow down. • Give way to pedestrians, they have right of way. • Warn pedestrians of your approach by sounding your bell or calling out. • Watch for vehicles crossing shared paths that may be entering or exiting driveways.
