Bicycle Parking
in the Perth CBD
Tips for parking your bike securely
Cycling at night
•
Riding at night requires some additional
equipment and greater awareness. To cycle at
night safely you should:
Buy a good quality lock such as a D-lock,
extension cable or heavy chain lock. A good way to prevent theft is to use more than one kind of lock.
• Lock your bike wherever you decide to leave it, no matter how long you intend to be away.
Your bike can be stolen within a few seconds.
and cycling tips
• For secure locking, lock the bike frame, back wheel or both wheels, but never lock only the wheels.
• Secure items when you leave your bike.
Remove any parts that can’t be secured
e.g. pump, light and toolkit.
• Park in open areas where many people walk by and your bicycle can be seen easily.
Parking options
1.
U-Rail Parking
• Always use lights on your bicycle at night.
A white front light and a red rear light.
• Adjust your headlight correctly so that it
illuminates the path and is not shining in the eyes of oncoming cyclists or pedestrians.
• Ride within the range of your headlight.
Slow down if your braking distance is greater than the amount of path being shown by the light.
• Use reflectors. A red rear reflector and yellow
reflectors on both wheels and pedals must be fitted.
Cycling instead to work

• Work out your goal

This goal allows your body to adjust to doing
a new activity.

• Prepare for your first ride:

1. Maintenance: Make sure your bike is
working well. You may need to pump up the
tyres, oil the chain or take it to a bike shop to
be looked over.

30 mins

80 mins
40 mins
E.g. “In three months I will be riding the
eight kilometres to work four days a week”.
• Wear light-coloured clothing and preferably
something reflective to increase visibility.
2. Plan route: Using the Perth Bicycle Network
routes is an easy way to work out a good route.
You can view our bike maps online at
www.transport.wa.gov.au/cycling
Web links
3. Duration: Consider making a trial ride over
the route on the weekend. This is a good
opportunity to see how long it takes.
Plan your trip and access the following information
at www.transport.wa.gov.au/cycling
4. Luggage: Add a basket or pannier bag to
your bike for a more comfortable journey. Or
find a comfortable packback.
5. Refreshing: If you are going to need a shower
at work, maybe get a locker to store some
toiletries and a towel.
6. Adjusting: You may need to ride only once in
the first and second weeks, followed by twice a
week for a while. Giving your body a little time to
adjust is the best way to ensure it isn’t too much
effort.
Before long, you will be riding regularly, getting fit,
saving money and reducing greenhouse emissions.
