The last road safety briefing was conducted last year 26th June 2011. Since then, LCSG had grown in size, crossing 1900 members. No doubt not all the members are actively cycling on a daily or weekly basis, but knowledge on road and park behaviors is very important especially the PCNs with are very popular for cyclists like LCSG

uncle KC: "whether riding individually or , in group .. practice looking back ( better still install rear view mirror ! ) before overtaking / changing direction & .. if you need to STOP for whatever reason shout-out & immediately move to the extreme left BEFORE coming to a stop .. & a sensitive matter .. during group rides .. full concentration on the ride / surrounds SAVE your chit-chatting till the next rest point !!"
