Cycling in a major city like London can be beautiful and rewarding, but it also presents many challenges. There are millions of people travelling to and from work, with cars, bicycles, buses and heavy goods vehicles all crowding the streets. Staying safe is your priority as a cyclist, so Transport for London have sent us their top tips to keep your riding safely on the city streets.
The advice is based around the findings of the Construction Logistics and Cycle Safety (CLOCS) report which was published in 2013, and investigated how construction work in London affects cyclists. While it may be aimed at London cyclists, this advice is useful for most urban riders and most cyclists in general. CLOCS will be exhibiting at the London Bike Show later this week (11-14 February), see more info below.
