Experts and novice alike need to make sure they know the rules surrounding bicycle in order to stay safe.

RCMP Constable Amber reminds us where cyclists can ride: "Bikes are allowed to be ridden on the roadway with motor vehicles. They also can be ridden on the sidewalk by small children and there are some bicycle paths in the City in which bicycles are also allowed".

Amber also says that helmets are mandatory for youth under the age of 18, and strongly recommended for adults.

Amber is also reminding motorists that it’s cycling season, and to give riders space when sharing the road with them.
