TIPS FOR SAFE RIDING

For a safe and enjoyable bike tour, especially in varied terrains like those found in Croatia, here are essential security measures to follow:

Check tire condition and pressure, brake functionality, chain lubrication, and ensure gears shift smoothly.
Make sure wheels are secured and spokes are intact.

Helmet: A properly fitted helmet is a must for all riders.
High-Visibility Clothing: Bright colors or reflective gear improve visibility, especially in low light.

Lights and Reflectors: Equip both front and rear lights and reflectors for rides at dawn, dusk, or night.
Bell or Horn: Helps alert pedestrians and other cyclists.

Repair Kit: Even though the Bike Guide carries essential tool, spare parts and air pump, we recomend you to bring your bike specific tools and a spare tube.

Ensure your bicycle is in a safe and roadworthy condition.
We will ride on designated bike paths where available.
Please obey traffic signals, signs, and always ride as close to the right edge of the road.
For your safety and the safety of others: Cyclists must ride in a single file line.
When crossing the road: If a pedestrian crossing is marked but there is no designated bike crossing, cyclists must dismount and push their bikes across as pedestrians would.

Signal turns, stops, or lane changes to other riders and vehicles.
If riding in a group, maintain communication about hazards, stops, or pace changes.

Inform your Bike guide before tour starts about any serious medical condition you have. Don’t forget to take your daily medicines with you on a tour.
Carry a charged phone, personal identification, and emergency contact information.

When riding in group, Bike Guides will ride in front and at the end to keep the group together.
On main roads, to ease the overtake of faster vehicles, we suggest you to make smaller groups of 3-5 riders with sufficient distance 50-100 m to another groups.
Inform the Bike Guide if you need to stop.

These security measures will help reduce risks and enhance the enjoyment of a bike tour, keeping riders safe on their adventures.
