Cyclists always draw the short straw when it comes to traffic collisions
with cars.

Use common hand signals when turning or stopping.

Never ride with headphones. They drown out traffic noise and sirens,
distract you from the traffic and can be caught in the moving parts of
the bike, causing you to lose control.

Never let other people ride with you. Exceptions are toddlers who are
wearing an approved helmet, and have to be transported in a
properly fitted child seat or child trailer. Observe the weight
restrictions given in the manufacturer's recommendations for the
child seat or child trailer.

Never carry anything that obstructs your view, impairs your full
control of the bicycle, or could become entangled with the moving
parts of the bike.

Never allow another vehicle to pull you.

Do not perform any stunts, wheelies or jumps. They can result in
injury or damage your bike.

Never weave your way th
rough traffic, and don’t make any
movements that might surprise the other road users.

Ride defensively and grant the right of way.

Never ride your bike while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is poor, at
dusk, at night or when you are very tired. All this increases the risk of
accidents.
Tips for safe off-road riding

The different terrain conditions for cycling off the road call for high
concentration and good riding skills. Begin slowly on easier terrain
and improve your riding skills. If your bike is equipped with
suspension, then the risk of losing control and falling increases with
increasing speed. Familiarise yourself with how your bike handles
before you increase your speed or ride on difficult terrain.
