We supply helmets with all our biking tours
(except when just renting a bike) but you may
want to consider bringing your own if you are
taking a long tour as helmets are a personal
item.
We recommend helmets to be worn at all times
when riding, always wear a correctly adjusted
helmets (that fits snugly on your head and does
not tip forwards or backward).
Always ride at the speed you are comfortable
with. Do not over do it or ride beyond your
abilities as accidents are not fun. If some
stretches are too technical for you, it is
better to walk than fall !
Always ride at least on other person in case of
difficulty. Give each other plenty of space on
the tracks- nothing is worse than a pile up!
The person in front has right of way and may not
be aware of what a person behind is doing. So if
overtaking, let the person in front know which
side you are passing on.
Always stop at junctions unless specifically
told not to by the guide; if in double as to the
route, stop and wait for the rest of the group
or the leader. If you get lost, go back to the
last place where you were sure saw other group
members and wait there where will will find you.
In general, the leader rides at or near the back
of the group and the supported vehicles (where
applicable) are right at the back. With 2
guides, one will be towards the front, one will
be at the back.
For safety, always know the final destination
for each day and carry some money, emergency
numbers.
Drink plenty of water and take some energy bars
in case you get hungry between meals.
Dogs warning: do not try to race off. Stop and
get off your bike, keep it between you and the
dogs and pretend to throw a stone and throw one
if you have.
