☝️A little cycling etiquette for (NOT only) forest roads ☝️

🌳 Many cyclists train on forest roads. They are fast both uphill and downhill. They usually indicate loudly and verbally which direction they plan to turn from, “left” or “right”. Let them go!

🛣 It’s great to glide downhill on asphalt forest roads, but if you’re not an experienced cyclist, slow down to a speed that allows you to keep your bike on the same path!

🚵‍♀ In a blind bend, never cross to the other side of the road, either up or down. It is strongly recommended to drive on the side of the road that corresponds to the direction of travel on the entire route!

Don’t go downhill at high speed on bends. On the one hand, gravel is very common on the bends of asphalt roads in the forest, and it’s easy to slip, and on the other hand, taking bends at high speed is only recommended for those who cycle a lot and very well. If you want to be cool, be cool by going really fast uphill.☺️

Always brake with both brakes – front and rear. Braking with only the front brake can cause nose-down, while braking with the rear brake can cause tail-end roll and skid.

🍫Do not leave the packaging from which the food was taken in the forest, not even at forest rest areas. Take it home or put it in a public trash can in a settlement.

🎵 Don’t listen to loud music, either through speakers or headphones. The former disturbs other living things, while the latter prevents us from hearing, for example, the aforementioned athlete trying to avoid us.

🅿 To access the forest bike paths, use the designated parking lots at the entry points, or go there by train or bike..

⛑ And last but not least, always wear a helmet!!!
