Road Safety:*

Be Safe and Be Seen. Wear reflective clothing and use bike lights under poor light conditions.

Ride well clear of the kerb. You’ll be more visible, more respected, and safer.

If cycling behind a motor vehicle, keep well back in case they brake.

Think ahead, think of what drivers may to. Catch their eye.

Don’t weave in and out of traffic. Stay in your lane and signal your turns.

Cycle with the flow of traffic unless on a contra-flow cycle lane.

When turning: signal your turn in good time.

Never cycle between another left turning vehicle and the kerb and never pass a vehicle on the inside when it may turn left.

Keep well clear of buses and trucks. Remember all vehicles but especially HGVs have blind zones and the driver may not be able to see you.

Always obey the rules of the road.

Never wear headphones or use a mobile phone when cycling.

With our shared vision to make Cork a great cycling city, the TMF and Cork Cycling Campaign have come together with the support of Cork City Council and Healthy Ireland to produce Cork’s first Cycle Maps. The routes were suggested by regular cyclists in Cork based on segregation, quality, and connectedness. In practice,

the quality of the city’s cycle infrastructure is still variable. We aim to update the maps as cycling infrastructure improves. Please get in touch with your suggestions on how to make these maps better or any routes you think should be included.

Thank you..
