Good safety reminder!!

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is reminding cyclists and all road users of the importance of bicycle safety.

With summer upon us and children heading outdoors to play, there will be more cyclists on our roadways. With such an increase in bicycle traffic, motorists are advised to slow down in residential areas, avoid distractions, and be extra vigilant to help prevent injuries and keep cyclists safe. The RNC reminds drivers to maintain a minimum distance of one meter between their vehicle and the cyclist. Where posted speed limits are greater than 60 kilometers per hour, the required distance is one and a half meters.

The RNC encourages cyclists to adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Always wear a property fitted helmet.
• Wear bright, reflective clothing and protective gear.
• Make sure your bike is in good riding condition; check your brakes and tires regularly.
• Ensure your bike has reflectors so approaching vehicles can see you.
• Use proper hand signals and obey traffic signs and lights.
• Ride on the right side of the road travelling in the same direction as traffic.
• Walk your bike through a crosswalk; make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.
• Stay off sidewalks and yield to pedestrians at intersections.
• Avoid the use of headphones.

Save the dates! Pedal Poll 2026 is officially set for June 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

🗓️ Head over to our website to add the event to your calendar: https://velocanadabikes.org/pedalpoll/

This year marks a major evolution as we transition to a micromobility count. While we continue to track vital data for people on bikes, we are expanding our scope to measure the surge in e-bikes, e-scooters, and shared mobility transforming Canadian streets. Your participation provides the snapshot needed to build a stronger, evidence-based case for safer infrastructure in every province.

Building on the success of 2025, which captured nearly 50,000 riders, we are getting ready to make this our best count yet! Whether you are a returning volunteer or joining us for the first time, your efforts help map the future of active transportation across Canada.
