Tips | Servicing a Bike | Buying a Bicycle | Cycling Safety Cycle safety is a major issue for all aspects of cycling. It is important to have a properly fitted bicycle, a properly fitted helmet and a good understanding of the capabilities of the bicycle and what it can be used for. Many of the cyclists that race at top level at Olympic Games ride close to the same distance as riding around the earth in one calendar year (45,000 kilometres). They achieve this by following the basic rules of the road, respect other road users, ride on properly fitted bicycles and respect their own bodies. Advice can be offered by the staff at Bates Bikes, especially from those that are travelling long distances week in and week out. Bates Bikes also boast a great understanding with all cycle safety issues and offers supports to schools throughout the Sydney region and in some country centres. Since 1994, Bates Bikes representatives have attended more than 240 schools promoting cycle safety and good nutrition.
