The questions in this e-learning tool are all based on core functions and systematic routines which underpin safe and responsible cycling.
The four core functions are:
- Making good and frequent observations
- Choosing and maintaining the most suitable riding positions
- Communicating intentions clearly to others
- Understanding priorities on the road, particularly at junctions
Systematic routines involve making decisions about:
- Planning well in advance, anticipating and responding
- The most suitable riding positions for different parts of journey
- Looking behind before communicating intentions and changing riding position
- Knowing when to give way to others or take priority assertively
