Safe Cycling

Here you can find some useful tip for safe cycling.

Keep on the right

It is illegal to ride on the wrong side of the road because this increases a cyclist’s risk. Moreover, while approaching an intersection, regardless of your preferred direction, choose a conspicuous lane position with plenty of buffer space around you.

Always lock your bike

Do not forget to lock the bicycle properly. Nevertheless, your bike could be absolutely safe when you do not leave it unattended.

Don’t park your bike anywhere

You should park your bikes near existing bike racks or in designated areas. The most important is that you do not leave them in places where they could be hazardous for pedestrians or impede accessibility.

Use cycle lanes

It is imperative that a cyclist use cycle lanes, which provide a safe and efficient way for riding a bike.
