Biking Code of Conduct

• Keep to the signposted biking track
• Don't make new trails - it is not only illegal, it also degrades the park
• Don't cycle on walking tracks
• Enter the park from access points indicated on the map
• Give way to walkers and dismount when approaching groups - remember the bike track is a shared path
• Dismount near children's play areas
• Don't ride around water bars, steps or other erosion structures - they help stabilise tracks by minimising soil movement
• Keep speed and skidding to a minimum as this causes erosion
• When approaching blind corners ride on the left hand side of the track
• When riding on firebreaks behind houses, keep to the bush side to minimise grass and erosion damage
• Observe bike route closures
• After heavy rain, refrain from using the bike track for a few days or until the track dries out
• Remove soil from boots and tyres before entering the park - this will minimise the risk of root rot spreading to bushland
