Basic safety

Here are four basic tips

for cycling in Cyprus

Maintain control

The road traffic regulations must be observed. Please note to drive on the left.

We urgently appeal to common sense not to throw garbage into botany. Carrying packaging of e.g. bars, energy gels or other items is not a burden if you dispose of it in the nearest trash can.

Protect yourself

There is no requirement that a helmet must be worn. We strongly recommend wearing a helmet. If no helmet is available, you can borrow or buy one from us.

Wear your helmet per manufacturer directions.

Be visible and alert

It gets dark relatively quickly in autumn and spring, so we advise you to have light with you when planning tours that go or could go into twilight or darkness.

Be careful

Please keep an eye on the bikes during breaks, if they are stolen, the renting person is responsible.

In general, the bikes are to be stored in such a way that they are “theft-proof”, e.g. in a locked room or area.

Accident / damage / loss of the bike

In the event of an accident or theft / loss of the bike, the lessor must be informed immediately. In the event of an accident involving a third party, a report may be required. 

Damage caused by improper transport must be paid for by the person renting the vehicle.

The renting person is not allowed to carry out any repairs on the bike. The renting person is fully responsible for any damage caused by repairs. Exceptions are fine adjustments of the gearshift / brake or wheel breakdowns where an exchange of the hose is necessary.

Use on the beach

The use of all bikes on the beach (in the sand) or in connection with salt water is prohibited. In the event of non-compliance, there will be a contractual penalty in the amount of the deposit.

Tour to the north side

In general, it is not forbidden to cycle on the north side of Cyprus. Please note that this is done at your own risk.
