Cycling is a great form of exercise. To those that do, well done!
If you're driving, please keep an eye out for people on their bikes & always leave at least 1m of space between yourself and the person cycling.

Tow truck operators report near misses every day. Working on the roadside places them in a risky situation with every shift.
To help keep them safe on the job, please SLOW DOWN and MOVE OVER if safe to do so.
This allows them the space to work safely.
