Door Dodging

Every National Standards instructor covers how to pass parked cars safely as a matter of course at Level 2, getting trainees to demonstrate how much space they need to give, so that any car door suddenly flung open in front of them will not floor them. It is the most common cycling accident, so a most important lesson to be learnt and definitely not the hard way. This video helps demonstrate that a car door is wider than a trainee might realize, and shows just how much space is required to pass completely safely.

DUNEDIN CYCLING STRATEGY

Included within this document; text, photos, and the council's way forward from 2004 {!}

"The purpose of this strategy is to encourage participation in cycling and address cycling safety. This will require taking steps to overcome the challenges that inhibit more Dunedin people from choosing to cycle and make it a more attractive option" 

"Cycling must be promoted within an integrated transport system for Dunedin. This integration will be achieved by ensuring that the policies and strategies relating to amenity, traffic management, road safety, parking, public transport, walking and cycling are effective and properly integrated"
