How to....? Cycling and general safety

"Always lock up your bicycles, if possible lock them to a fixed object such as lamp post or bicycle rack. If bicycles are stolen and not found before you leave, you will be charged £ 75. Damage that you cause to the bicycles can also be deducted so be careful with the bikes.
If you have any problems with the bikes go straight to the cycle shop.
Always put your lights on at night.
Do not ride in large groups!
Do not ride two abreast - always in single file!
Do not ride on the pavements!
At roundabouts you must give way to the right - the person who is going round the roundabout has the right of way.
Avoid cycle paths through trees etc. when it is dark.
In the summer months avoid sitting around on Parker’s Piece in the evening.
Any student who is caught breaking the law in any way < theft/drugs/alcohol> will be sent home at his/her own cost.
Do not carry your money, travel documents or passport with you - only take the amount you will need for the day in your purse.
Always make sure you have the address and telephone number of your host family and your teacher with you."
