EXMOOR CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CYCLING
The following is a set of guidelines which should help to make your cycling safe, responsible and fun.
• Ride only on permitted tracks, i.e. bridleways, restricted byways and permitted routes clearly identified on the ground or on Ordnance Survey maps of the appropriate scale (Pathfinder/Outdoor Leisure Series).
• Give way to walkers and horses; control your speed and avoid bunching, when travelling in large groups.
• Announce your presence when approaching horses and walkers from the rear, to avoid startling them, ideally with a bell as it is more friendly and less startling than a shout!
• Minimise your impact on the environment by avoiding excessively worn tracks especially during wet weather.
• Skidding during breaking is very destructive, particularly on the delicate moorland soils, so brake sensibly.
• Follow the Country Code and use your common sense. Be responsible
