Before setting out, it’s important to make sure you’re ready for the road ahead. Western Australia has some amazing cycling-friendly infrastructure, but safety is still key:

  • Helmet first: Helmets are mandatory in WA, so always wear yours.
  • Stay visible: Equip your bike with front and rear lights, especially if you’re riding in early mornings or evenings when visibility is lower.
  • Know your route: Familiarise yourself with your commute, including bike paths and any potential traffic you might encounter. Visit the Department of Transport for all maps and route planner to suss out your ride. 

Don’t forget to carry a basic repair kit, including a tire pump and patch kit. A little preparation can save you a lot of hassle on the road.
