
Wear proper safety equipment for your planned riding style.

Do not ride alone on terrain that is off the beaten track. Even if you
travel together with others, you need to tell someone where you are
and when you will return.

Do not perform any stunts, wheelies or jumps. They can result in
injury or damage your bike.

Get to know the regional regulations regarding navigable terrain and
riding off-road, and respect private property.

You will be using the area together with hikers, riders or other
cyclists. Respect their rights.

Give pedestrians and animals the right of way. Ride so that they are
not disturbed or endangered, and stay far enough away that their
sudden movements do not endanger you.

Stay on the designated trail. Do not contribute to erosion by riding in
mud or by unnecessary skidding. Do not disturb the ecosystem by
making your own path or a shortcut through the vegetation or
streams. It is your responsibility to impact the environment as little as
possible. Leave everything as you found it, and take everything you
bring back home with you.

Be well equipped. If something happens while you are riding off-road,
it can take a long time until help arrives.
