Rules and cycle tips
- Keep your bike in top condition: Make sure your bicycle is roadworthy before you start out. Check your tyre pressure and that brakes, pedals, lights and reflectors are all in good working order.
- Wear a helmet: A helmet could save your life. Under the road rules, all cyclists, even young children, must wear an approved helmet when riding. Your helmet must be correctly fitted and securely fastened.
- Follow the road rules: Road rules for cycling and driving cars are the same and are regulated by the Queensland Road Rules. Make sure you’re aware of all road rules relating to cycling before you begin your ride.
- Keep left: Cyclists should keep as far left as practical but can take up a whole lane where necessary for safety or to turn right.
- Hand signals: Cyclists should give hand signals when turning left, right or changing lanes and it’s a good idea to signal that you are about to stop.
- Be seen: Wearing brightly coloured clothes will help motorists see you when you’re riding on the road. You must have front and rear lights and reflectors on your bike for riding at night.
- Give way: Normal give way rules apply when riding on the road. Cyclists must give way to pedestrians at all times on shared paths and footpaths.
- Use your bell: Let others know you’re coming by signaling with your bell especially on shared paths and footpaths. You are legally required to have a working bell fitted to your bike.
- Two abreast: It is legal to ride two abreast... in some circumstances (eg on a narrow road) it may be more sensible to ride in a single file.
- Passengers: It is illegal to carry passengers except in an approved child seat or on a tandem.
- Pedestrian Crossings: Cyclists must give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings. If using the crossing to cross a road, cyclists must dismount and walk their bike across.
