1. if you are younger the best thing to do is ride on the footpath, however if you specifically are riding on the road, always ride with traffic that is ride on the side on the road next to the kerb and ride in the direction the traffic is going.
2. parked cars can prove dangerous obstacles, you can easily run into on when not paying attention or have someone open a car door on you(its happened to me), parked cars can also be a hazard as they force you to move onto or closer to lanes where cars are, this increases your chances of been injured or hit by a moving car.
3.if you are riding and want to turn right, you must go around the round about like cars, you cant cut across the quick way. you must follow traffic to make ensure your safety and its helps the drivers around you to know what your doing. when you approach the round about and go around it put your Right arm straight out to the side, this indicates that you are turning right.
4.when to not use your bell, i cant think of a time when its a bad thing, just use it when you need to warn people you are coming and don't just use it to play with the sound its annoying to other people.
NOTE: make sure you are wearing a helmet while riding at all times.
hope this helps
cheers=]
