Proper conduct as a road user

• Use bicycle paths wherever these are

• Always cycle on the far right; overtake from
the left.
• Prior to each turn, give a clear signal with
your outstretched arm.
• Always cycle in the specified direction of
travel.
• Always ride at a speed suitable to the
prevailing weather conditions; on a wet
roadway, the braking distance is always
longer!
• At night and whenever visibility is low, only
ride with lights on.
• Take care to avoid harm to plants and
animals when cycling off-road.
• Protect your head by wearing a cycling
helmet (certified according to DIN-EN 1078)!
• When cycling, never listen to music via
headphones (e.g. on a Walkman/Discman,
MP3 player)!
• Wear functional clothing (tight-fitting leg
warmers, cycle clips if necessary, sturdy
28
shoes); in darkness and in inclement
weather, also wear reflective clothing.
• When travelling in full skirts and long coats,
only ride wearing a coat guard.
• WARNING: In wet conditions, the efficacy
of the brakes and the dynamo decreases!
Adapt your cycling manoeuvres accordingly.

Cycling free-handed and hitching the cycle
to other vehicles is potentially fatal and
also prohibited.

flow of traffic; therefore, always ride single
file.
Only the cyclist can ride on the bicycle; no
passengers allowed! (Exception: a child on
the specially-designed child seat)
