Road Safety and Cycle Security in Cambridge, UK

Be Safe - Be Seen

Cambridge is a congested town full of university students, professionals, visitors and language students.  This can make for an interesting mix on the narrow streets of the town, as drivers unfamiliar with the roads, and cyclists used to cycling on the right side of the street, all try to get from A to B. Frustration often leads to imprudent moves, with cyclists and pedestrians as the most vulnerable commuters. 

• Make sure you are seen by wearing reflective fluorescent clothing
• Protect your most important asset with a good quality helmet  
• Follow the solid cycling advice on the websites listed below

Beware Bike Thieves

Because there are so many bicycles in Cambridge, the city also attracts organised bike thieves, who find rich pickings among bikes which are not locked to stationery objects, locked with inferior chains, locked in dark places or not locked at all. Use the Immobilise Website to register your valuables with photos and serial numbers.  It allows you to mark an item as stolen and helps the police find the rightful owners of stolen goods they recover.
