Cycling the greenways is safe for children with some caveats. Greenways sometimes cross minor roads so it is important to obey Stop signals. In addition there are areas where cars are allowed to have local access. These are referred to as Shared Spaces and will be sign-posted. Children should always be supervised.

In addition the spaces are shared with walkers. It is useful to have a bell on the bike to indicate to walkers ahead. Cyclists particularly on tarred surfaces may not be heard. Cyclists should cycle in single file when sharing the paths with walkers.
