tant:

countries where you will ride your bike.
- To ride the bicycle following the normal traffic direction, in
single file and keeping a straight line.
- To pay attention to vehicles accessing the roadway and
to the sudden opening of doors or hatches.
- Never ride on pavements and give way to pedestrian.
- Never engage races or competitions on roads opened to
the traffic.
- To maintain your bike in efficient/perfect conditions and
above all the brake system.
WARNING/IMPORTANT:

please consider that the braking distance will be longer.

the local government law.
- Indicate in advance when changing direction using your
right/left arm accordingly.
