Tram training for cyclists – Wednesday 25 Feb, 12-1pm – Clinical Sciences Building, City Hospital

Our free tram safety training helps cyclists understand how to safely share Nottingham’s roads with new trams.
Trams are a new feature of the highway and cyclists need to be aware of the potential hazards.

Our course gives you the knowledge to be able to ride safely and understand the roads from the tram driver’s perspective as well as on two wheels. A few adjustments to how you ride can make all the difference to your future safety.

Sessions cover topics such as:
• How to ride confidently near tram tacks
• Effective ways to cross tram lines safely by bike
• Signalling and riding near moving trams
