Cycle Safe

Cycling is a fun, convenient and healthy way to get around - but if you don't follow basic safety guidelines the results could be very unfunny.

In 2001 nearly 3000 cyclists between 12 - 16 were killed or injured on the roads. If you want to protect yourself you must take cycle safety seriously. Get yourself a helmet. No joking - in a study of admissions to an A&E Department nearly 50% of injuries suffered by cyclists were to the head and face (Simpson).
