- Don't veer in and out between parked vehicles - maintain a consistent straight path along the road.
- If necessary (eg on narrow roads or at intersections) occupy the centre of the traffic lane, so that other traffic can clearly see you and doesn't try to overtake you unsafely
- Ride at least a metre away from parked cars to avoid hitting doors opening in front of you
- Be careful of painted lines and manhole covers in wet conditions - they are very slippery
- Don't use a mobile phone or listen to music while cycling - the road requires your full attention

- Obey the road rules - don't jump red lights and don't ride on the footpath
