Cycling to work, school or for leisure is an easy way to save money, avoid traffic congestion, get fit and have fun.

This section contains useful tips and advice to help you enjoy cycling more.

Increasing your cycle safety awareness, road presence and talking to other cyclists will help you realise the potential of cycling. Auckland Regional Cycle Maps are also available to help you get around.

Cycle Essentials

Cyclists should always consider these key principles:

(1) Bikes are vehicles too – follow the laws of the road
(2) Help other road users know what you are doing next – ride predictably and signal
(3) No-one will injure you if they see you – be as visible as possible
(4) No-one is deliberately trying to hit you – but it still pays to be cautious and courteous

Seen a problem?

To improve safety for yourself and for other cyclists, please report incidents and maintenance issues to the relevant local council.
