Dear cyclists,

Your safety is important to us. Therefore, we would like to give you some important safety tips for your bike ride:

Wear a helmet: A helmet can prevent serious head injuries in case of a fall. Please always wear a well-fitting helmet.

Observe traffic rules: Follow all traffic rules and signs. Always ride on the right side of the street and watch out for pedestrians and other road users.

Check your equipment: Before every ride, check your bike for possible defects. Brakes, tires, and lights should be functioning perfectly.

Visibility: Wear bright clothing and use reflectors to be better seen in traffic, especially at dusk or in darkness.

Defensive riding: Always be attentive and anticipate. Expect mistakes from others and ride defensively.

Take drinking breaks: Especially on longer routes, it's important to take regular breaks and drink enough to stay fit and alert.

Signal with hand signs: Communicate your direction and intentions clearly with hand signals to avoid misunderstandings.

We wish you a safe and pleasant ride!
