New Forest Cycle Code

Here are the 8 points of the Forestry Commission’s New Forest Cycle Code:

1. Keep to the way marked gravel tracks when cycling in the forest
2. Slow down and call out a warning when approaching other forest users. Be courteous and friendly
3. Take extra care when approaching horse riders. When in a group, all cyclists should pass the horse on the same side
4. Do not startle ponies, cattle and wildlife. Go slowly, and give them space
5. Avoid causing obstructions – do not ride more than two abreast. Always ride in single file on narrow roads
6. Keep well away from any work going on in the forest
7. Do not pass any vehicle loading timber unless told to do so
8. Use the map, and plan to be out of the forest by dusk
