Cycle safety is on the minds of Dunedin City Council staff, who're launching two campaigns to prevent accidents.

The council's annual Be Bright campaign is about cyclists staying visible as days and nights get darker in winter.

Strips of reflective material are being given out for free by the council, for cyclists to stick on their bikes.

Council staff will also be in the community, stopping cyclists and surveying them about safety issues.

Simultaneously, the council's running more road safety workshops in local schools.

They're focused on the safe pick-up and drop-off of pupils at schools, but also include general road safety information.
