Stay healthy and safe when cycling through South Tyrol! You should adhere to these recommendations:

1. Match your speed to your skills and the current traffic situation. Make sure to use your brakes in time.
2. Alcohol is prohibited - also for cyclists.
3. Walking paths and footpaths are reserved for pedestrians. Please do not use dangerous shortcuts; choose the longer, but safer path if you are unsure.
4. Check your bicycle on a regular basis, and get a professional to check it if necessary. Brakes, lights, supporting elements, wheels and mud guards are essential for your safety.
5. Choose adequate and comfortable clothing. Helmet and sunglasses are essential parts of clothing.
6. Bicycles are vehicles too. Behave as if you are driving a car and respect all prohibition and mandatory signs.
7. Use cycling paths wherever possible. In this way you can prevent sources of hazard and relax on your tour.
8. Cycle according to the visibility conditions. Switch your lights on at dawn and in case of fog.
9. Always stop if you want to write a text message or make a phone call. The same applies for eating or drinking.
10. Always take in to consideration that other cyclists might make mistakes. Do not overtake at unclear stops and allow others to overtake you by always cycling to the right.
