This is our comprehensive guide to get you started on your cycling journey to work and beyond.
There are so many bikes out there to choose from and it can be hard to know where to start. A good approach is to think about the types of journey’s you want to take on your bike, then choose one that’s going to suit you best. If you’re just taking a short jaunt to the local shops to pick up the essentials, you’ll need a very different bike than if you’re doing a longer ride as part of your daily commute or weekend exercise! Your Move have put together some handy information to help you to think about all the different types of bikes which are on the market today.
Everybody has different needs when it comes to choosing the right helmet. The first step is to choose a helmet that provides the best protection for your intended type of cycling. For everyday city cycling, a helmet that offers more head coverage is generally the preferred choice of many. Helmets also come with a range of additional features, so its best to take time and analyse your different options to find the one thats right for you.

Before starting to ride, bicycle riders should be familiar with bicycle standards and equipment, legislation for use of shared paths, roads, intersections and footpaths. As riders, we cannot directly control the attitudes, thoughts and behaviours of other road users. However, we can control our own behaviour and etiquette.
If we uphold the highest of standards, this will, in turn, and over
time, result in respect from others. With this in mind, in consultation with numerous stakeholders, we have developed a series of “Best Practice Guides” to riding. The project was made possible through funding from the Road Trauma Trust Account.
Perth and some of WA’s regional centres have excellent networks of paths, trails, tracks and on-road facilities for bike riders of all ages and abilities. Use the links below to plan your next ride!
