    Safety information

    • Always check your bike’s lighting system, brakes, tires, and reflectors before starting!
    • Wear bright, reflective clothing in poor visibility (dusk, darkness, fog, etc.). Alternatively: vest or ankle bands with reflector strips.
    • Especially in autumn and winter, leaves lying on the ground can conceal possible unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path.
    • Attach tall bike flags to your children's bicycles additionally so that even the smallest riders are well seen in road traffic.
