Top 3 mistakes Newcastle cyclists make.
1: On Newcastle roads wherever there is a bike picture on the road do not cycle over the top of it.  For your safety you should usually cycle just to the right of it (NSW Road Rules 153, 144 & 247 advise to ride the safe way (usually 1.5m away from parked cars) RTA.nsw.gov.au.
