Always follow the forest cycling code

 

Don't rely on others

• can you get home safely?
• carry the right equipment and know how to use it.

For your own safety

• always wear the right safety clothing - at least a helmet and gloves
• only cycle within your abilities
• only tackle jumps and other challenges if you are sure you can do them - have a look first
• train properly, especially for difficult and technical routes.

On and off road

• expect the unexpected - watch out for other visitors
• for your own and others' safety always follow warning signs and any advice you are given
• if a vehicle is loading timber, stop and wait for the driver to let you pass safely.

Cycle carefully and please come back soon!
