The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is a registered charity which was established over 80 years ago. An influential body, it provides information, advice, resources and training, and is actively involved in the promotion of safety in all areas of life - at work, in the home, and on the roads, in schools, at leisure and on or near water. It campaigns for change, tries to influence opinion, and contributes to debate and education on relevant subjects including the safety of cyclists, both children and adults.

There is some very useful, downloadable information on cycling safety on the RoSPA web site. Follow the links: RoSPA - Road Safety - Cycling for information on:
