Pedal Cycling and Stay at Home Restrictions

Assistant Commissioner of Police Martin Weekes - "The Bermuda Police Service (BPS) wishes to remind the public that as with the previous 'Shelter in Place' Regulations from 2020, the 2021 'Stay at Home' Regulations specifically prohibit the use of pedal cycles for recreation/exercise on Bermuda’s highways.

If however your pedal cycle is your normal mode of transport and you are using it to go to and from work or attend a permitted business/medical appointment, then that use is allowed under the current regulations as if you were using a car or motorcycle.

The BPS reminds the public that under the current regulations, exercise has been restricted to within a one kilometre radius of your home, on foot by yourself or with one other household member."


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
