Cycling into the embrace of the mountains

/

For comfortable and safe cycling, we recommend wearing a helmet, comfortable sportswear, cycling gloves, a well-maintained bike, a water bottle, sunglasses, and sun protection.

15 rules that cyclists must follow:

Be aware of traffic signs and obey them!

Do not ride under the influence of alcohol!

Prior to changing your riding direction, frequently look behind you and promptly and decisively indicate your intention.

Observe the right-of-way rules which apply to cyclists at crossroads, especially in locations marked as cycling paths.

Only ride on cycling paths and cycling lanes or routes. Always use only the area intended for cyclists (marked through traffic signs and ground marks). On such pavements ride in the right lane in the prescribed direction, and on two-way cycling paths ride on the right side of the path.

If no cycling path or lane exists, ride along the right side of the road in the direction of traffic as close to the curb as possible not more than a metre from the road curb).

At night and in conditions of reduced visibility, make sure the white illuminating light at the front of the bicycle is turned on and at the back, the red position light is turned on. A red reflector should also be installed at the back of the bicycle, while both pedals should have yellow or orange reflectors and the tyres, yellow or orange side reflectors.

When riding with a group of cyclists, ride one after the other.

Be particularly careful at crossroads and decisively indicate your direction using your hand and ensure that other road traffic participants have seen you. If the situation is unclear, it is best to dismount from your bicycle and cross the road on foot.

Use a bell to ensure that other road traffic participants, pedestrians and cyclists notice you more quickly.

At night, make sure you are even more visible (lights and reflectors are mandatory and light clothing is advised).

Transport possessions in a basket intended for this purpose or affixed to a rack. Keep your hands free for manoeuvring the bicycle and for indicating direction.

Never: let go of the handlebars, raise your feet from the pedals, manoeuvre, pull or push other vehicles, allow yourself to be pulled or pushed, transport items which could impede your riding or transport other persons except if otherwise defined by law.

Mandatory equipment for bicycles comprises: a bell, road illumination light, back light, rear red reflector, yellow reflectors on pedals, fully working back and front brakes and side reflectors.

Helmet: Cyclists under the age of 18 must wear a certified protective helmet while riding; the same applies to children who are passengers on a bicycle. It is recommended that adults also wear a helmet, although this is not mandatory.
