E-Bike Safety Campaign Launched.

13/5/2024

2 Comments

 
Council has launched an E-bike campaign aimed at educating & influencing behavioural change. Supported by the Police and Bicycle NSW, the campaign is simple but effective. SLOW DOWN to walking pace when others are on the path; RING YOUR BELL and call 'on your right' to let others know you are approaching; BE READY for sudden changes - people, pets and prams are unpredictable.

The local police will be on hand to enforce the wearing of helmets and speed limits which are restricted to 25pm. (Under 16's are legally allowed to ride on footpaths.) The campaign will be rolled out to schools & bike shops, via social media and signage without the area.

While e-bikes sold in Australia meet the legal requirements, there is currently no quality control over imported e-bikes. Also, a legislative change of the road rules by the State government is urgently needed.

In the meantime congratulations to the Northern Beaches Council for this campaign initiative, which is believed to be the first in Australia.

I am a resident of our amazing Manly which offers us absolutely everything. There is other place in the world like it (and I have travelled and resided in many countries over my life time!!)
Unfortunately we still have a big problem with kids riding ebikes on the footpath and feeling they own the footpath with no consideration of foot traffic. On walking out of Coles this week 2 young kids on a heavy bike (more like a motor bike!!) nearly knocked me over and still kept on riding. The same thing happened walking along the waterfront with kids weaving their way around pedestrians.
Unfortunately we never see a policeman in uniform which would surely holt their crazy riding. I have been told they are now dressed in plain clothes! - surely a uniform would be more appropriate.

The launch of the E-bike safety campaign by the Northern Beaches Council is a fantastic and much-needed initiative. With the rapid rise in e-bike usage, ensuring safety for all users of shared paths—whether they are pedestrians, cyclists, or those with strollers—is crucial. The campaign's focus on slowing down to walking pace, using bells to signal intent, and staying alert for sudden movements is practical advice that can help prevent accidents and ensure a safer, more enjoyable experience for everyone on the path.
