Riding Bikes on Footpaths

We strongly encourage our students to embrace the healthy and sustainable practice of riding to school. However, it's crucial to be aware of the guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

You can only ride on a footpath if you:

• are a child 12 years old or under
• are 13 years or over and riding with a child who is 12 years old or under
• are 18 years or over and riding with a young child in a child seat attached to your bicycle or you have a child pedalling on a bike attachment connected to your bicycle
• have a medical certificate that says you have a disability that makes it difficult to ride on the road 
• are 13 or over and riding with someone who has a medical certificate that says they have a disability that makes it difficult to ride on the road.

If you have a disability and are riding on a footpath, you must be able to show police 

or an authorised person a medical certificate if you are asked.

When riding on a footpath, you must keep to the left and give way to pedestrians.
