– Slowly drive. When you move slowly, it is much tougher to get hurt. Be aware that pigs, chickens, dogs, and kids may be on the road and these are unpredictable creatures.

– Try to read the direction other users are taking and also try to signal which direction you intend to take with your body language. Use peripheral vision and do not make eye contact.

– When going uphill and loaded, it is difficult to maneuver, so stay in the lane and do not venture to the other side of the road, especially on corners. For downhill stretches, the opposite is true in that stopping will be much more difficult and brakes can become hot and ineffective. Just go slow.

– Without the permission of the rental firm, do not make any repairs to the bikes. If parts are changed, they will know. By paying a high price for a cheap part, you can get ripped off, and when the firm notice, you can also be charged again and want an original part, not a cheap Chinese copy. Just call them and ask for assistance.

– If you are flagged down by the police, you are obliged to stop. Smile and be friendly while doing so. You may need to pay a fine, but this is often faster and easier to do
