Abstract
The State Government recognizes cycling as a legitimate form of transport and an increasingly popular recreational activity. This booklet is a guide to the laws that apply when cycling in South Australia. The South Australian Road Traffic Act defines bicycles as vehicles for use on the road and regulates bicycle riders, the same as it does for drivers of motor vehicles and all road users. It is essential that all bicycle riders understand and behave in accordance with the road rules for their own, and other road users’ safety. This guide is not intended to be used as a legal document and should be read in conjunction with The Driver’s Handbook. (Author/publisher)
