Cycling rules

In safe hands

When you see people doing hand acrobatics on their bikes, it means they’re trying to communicate with you. One hand straight up means stopping, right hand to the side means turning right, left hand to the side… you get the drill. Use these hand signals while you ride your rental bike.

Bike helmets

In Switzerland, bike helmets are not mandatory. Therefore, protecting your brain is totally your call. If you decide to do it, go to Neuchâtelroule and show your Donkey Bike booking – they’ll give you a helmet for the day for free.

Let there be light

As soon as the sun sets, turn on the lights on your rental bike. This is to avoid a serious fine (CHF 40.-) as well as, you know, falling off your face. Good news; our bikes are normally set up with automatically lights.

Fall in line

Riding two abreast is forbidden on roads – always ride in single lines. On a mixed path for bikes and pedestrians, you are allowed to ride, but must take care of pedestrians.

Parking your rental bike

You must park your rental bike in designated bike racks. If you park your bike on a footpath, you have to leave a track of 1.5m for pedestrians.

Stay sober or park your bike

Don’t even think about cycling under the influence of alcohol or drugs – you’ll face a hefty fine if you do, not to mention the risk of an accident. Also, well, we don’t want a smashed up rental bike ☺
