Road safety

Despite all the fun, it is important not to lose sight of road safety. Cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable road users and should act defensively. According to the ADFC guidelines, cyclists must act confidently and adapt their riding style to the circumstances. This also means giving hand signals when turning and keeping enough distance from large vehicles. Predictive driving is the be-all and end-all, as accidents can happen quickly due to a lack of visibility. Everyone should make sure to follow the applicable traffic rules in order to reach their destination safely.

Another point that cyclists should keep in mind is visibility. Being clearly visible is essential for your own safety. The road traffic regulations require certain equipment, such as a bright-sounding bell, two working brakes, and the right lighting. Detachable headlights and taillights should definitely be installed at dusk or in the dark. It is best to also wear light-colored or reflective clothing to increase your own visibility. A helmet that fits well and is equipped with reflectors and an LED rear light is also an important safety item for cyclists.

An unforgettable experience

The bike tour to Hahnenkammsee is not only a great opportunity to experience Bavarian nature up close, but also a welcome opportunity to be active with like-minded people. The route is designed so that it is easy to master for both experienced and less experienced cyclists. Delicious breaks and the refreshing water of the Hahnenkammsee bring additional joy to the day.

So if you would like to pedal and want to ensure your safety at the same time, you should prepare well. It is important to have all the necessary equipment and follow safety precautions.
