Enjoy cycling at Christmas:
The staff at Bikewest would like wish all of our subscribers a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.
The gift of a bicycle is a terrific Christmas present. Bikewest would like to remind everyone to make a few important checks to ensure a safe Christmas:
- Check that the bike has been assembled correctly;
- Make sure seats are the correct height for the rider;
- Check helmets fit correctly and are adjusted to fit firmly;
- Wear highly visible clothing so you can be seen;
- Check clothes are unlikely to become caught in the chain; and
- Take care when riding on paths or roads, even on quiet local streets.

Online crash reporting:
The Insurance Commission of WA and WA Police have launched a new service called Crash Report, an online reporting service for all road users.
When to report a traffic crash:
The driver of a vehicle or rider of a bike must report a traffic crash when the incident occurred on a road or any place commonly used by the public, e.g. car parks; and
- the incident resulted in death or bodily harm to another person; or
- the owner or representative of any damaged property is not present.
By reporting a crash on this site you will have complied with the legal requirements for an owner, driver or rider to report a property damage crash to WA Police
