Leave no traces You can prevent soil erosion and damage to trails by braking gently so that the wheels don‘t lock. Take your rubbish with you and do not make unnecessary noises.

Think of the animals Twilight is feeding time for wild animals so cycle in the day- light to avoid disturbing them. Approach animals at a walking speed and close cattle gates after you.

Control your speed Adjust your speed to the situation! Ride carefully and be ready to brake, because unexpected­ obstacles can appear at any time. You can learn biking and brake techniques in mountain bike courses.
