Tips for safe riding

Observe all regional traffic laws and bicycle regulations. Observe the
regulations regarding the licensing of bicycles and riding on the
pavement, laws on the use of bike paths and so on. Observe the
regulations regarding helmets and child seats and special traffic rules
for cyclists. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the laws
and regulations and comply with them.

You are using the road or bike path together with motorised road
users, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect their rights.

Always turn on the lights.

Ride proactively. Always assume from that others are not able to see
you.

Look forward and be prepared for the following:

vehicles that are braking or turning onto your road in front of you, as
well as vehicles coming from behind

parked vehicles opening their doors

pedestrians on the road

children or pets playing near the road

potholes, storm drains, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or
pavement construction, debris or other obstacles that could possibly
cause you to swerve into the opposite lane or catch your wheel or
make you lose control and cause an accident.

Ride in the designated bike lanes and bike paths or as close to the
edge of the road as possible in the direction of the traffic flow or as
designated by local laws.

Stop at stop signs and traffic lights. Brake at crossroads and look in
both directions. Do not forget that cyclists are always the weaker
road users.
