Bike Safety Tip #2 : Riding on City Pathways
CBC Ottawa's Mics on Bikes are back on the road after a long winter in our parking garage at 181 Queen Street. The bikes are used by our radio reporters to get to stories that are within pedalling distance from the station.
The Ottawa Police have been helpful in getting our reporters up to scratch with their bike safety skills. To mark the beginning of season two of CBC Mics on Bikes, we will spend the week sharing bike safety skills with you care of the Ottawa Police Service. We plan to follow these tips - hopefully you will too!
Today's Ottawa Police Service Bike Safety Tip #2 : Riding on City Pathways
When cruising on the city pathways, keep to the right. Pass other users only when safe, and remember to use your bell or voice to warn others when you pass. The maximum speed for the city's bike paths is 20 km/h. When you decide to stop for a rest, pull off the pathway to avoid a collision with other pathway users.
