��Y �E �DE, BUT �� ��BEST TIMES TO RIDEThe safest riding conditions in the region are early morning. Try and avoid peak traffic times during the week and from midday on weekends and public holidays. Plan your trips and avoid riding in extreme heat or wet conditions. Coastal roads are naturally busy at peak summer times. Some of the best riding on our roads is in autumn, spring and on mild winter days.
RIDE SENSIBLY TOGETHERLegally you may ride two abreast but when traffic is congested or on undulating roads, with solid white lines at bends or hills, it can be safer and more courteous to ride single file.
TAKE EXTRA CARE AT ROUNDABOUTS AND INTERSECTIONSMake eye contact with drivers before proceeding through the intersection. Also at roundabouts sit up, clearly indicate your intentions and occupy the lane where possible.
STAY LEFT AND ALERTConcentrate and anticipate. Keep a lookout for obstacles, debris, potholes and traffic conditions. Try and keep to the left as much as practical and stay within the bike lanes with your handlebars within the white line.
BE PREPAREDHave plenty of spares with you and if repairs are needed, stay well off the road and find a secure spot well away from the traffic.

* Cycling training route signs are not in all areas, and cyclists should be alert of motorists.
WAYFINDINGThe City of Greater Geelong, in partnership with the Department of Transport, has developed a range of “wayfinding” signage to provide directional guidance for cyclists.
Wayfinding signage benefits recreational, training and commuter cyclists, as well as visitors to the City by directing cyclists on safe routes to key destinations.
CYCLIST TRAINING ROUTE SIGNAGE*Cycling training routes are often on rural roads with high speed traffic.
Cyclist Training Route Signage is installed on some training routes as a reminder for motorists to be alert for cyclists.
