Don't forget to share the road!
The Coromandel’s biggest road cycle race returns at the end of this month, and it’s a timely reminder to watch out for cyclists and share the road over the weeks ahead.
More than 1100 cyclists are expected to take part in the Flight Centre K2 Road Cycle Classic and associated events, being held on Saturday, 27 October 2018. The 200km race starts in a different town each year, and this year starts and finishes in Coromandel Town.
In the lead-up, to the event, we always experience greater numbers of cyclists on our road as they come here to train on the course. Be patient when travelling and remember, cyclists have a right to space on the road and need extra room at intersections and roundabouts.
Hazards such as parked cars, potholes or strong wind may cause cyclists to veer off-line and move into your path. Because of this, give cyclists plenty of room - ideally, allow at least 1.5m between you and the cyclist.
Other tips for safe driving around cyclists include:
• Wait for a clear space before passing a cyclist on a narrow road.
• At intersections, apply the same rules to cyclists that you would to any other vehicle on the road. Take care to indicate turns and check carefully for cyclists before turning at, or moving through an intersection.
• Take extra care around young cyclists.
