Cycling UK has produced a series of easily accessible video guides on maintenance and road safety. In this guide, we cover basic road positioning and how to tackle junctions safely. • Did you know more than 70% of collisions involving a bike happen at, or near, a junction? • That's why we've produced a video guide to take you through the most common types of junction and how to negotiate them safely. • You should position yourself at least an arm's length away from the kerb - although when cycling past parked car's keep an arm's length away from the vehicles in case a car unexpectedly opens in your path. • And when approaching an obstruction or narrowing in the road, take a more central position and always check over your right shoulder before moving to check it is safe to do so. • What this video covers: • • Passing simple junctions • • Turning right from a major to a minor road • • Turning left from a major to a minor road • • Turning left from a minor to a major road • • Turning right from a major to a minor road • This video has been produced as a series of five instructional guides covering road positioning and bike maintenance. We've also put together five written guides, designed to be downloaded on your phone for reference, covering the M-check, puncture repair, brake and gear adjustments, the essential tools you need and repairing a broken chain. • https://www.cyclinguk.org/article/roa... • • • Check out the Cycling UK website for more wheelie handy advice and the latest news: https://www.cyclinguk.org/ • • • FACEBOOK: / cyclinguk • TWITTER: / wearecyclinguk • INSTAGRAM: / wearecyclinguk • STRAVA: / strava • LINKEDIN: / cyclinguk • TIKTOK: / cyclinguk • • • Thanks so much for watching.
