Over the long weekend and with school starting up shortly there could be an increase in cyclist activity.

Key points to remember for drivers are motorists should leave about a metre between themselves and a cyclist, and take an extra look to make sure there isn’t a cyclist in your blind spot.

Smiley adds cyclists have to follow the rules of the road, be visible, ride defensively, and use hand signals.

According to the RCMP, if a cyclist runs a red light or doesn’t stop at a stop sign, they could receive a fine of 203 dollars.

On average in Manitoba, there are 300 incidents between motorists and cyclists with 4 cyclists killed, yearly.
