It is absolutely necessary to have a clear understanding of the latest mountain riding etiquette. Here some rules that are easy to follow, but still very important, when you're out on a cycling trail. Also, remember that smiles are always the best etiquette.

1. Share the road.

Everyone loves the sun, whether it's a walker, a runner, or a bike rider. No matter who you are, everyone wants to enjoy the good times of summer. So make sure you don't ride "fast and intense" on the public path as it is most likely to annoy some people there. Don't make enemies. If you see someone on the road, please slow down and be careful.

2. Do not litter.

No one will be friends with a littering person. This is really not cool. Enjoy and appreciate nature here, instead of “contributing” plastics, food packaging or used inner tubes. You go out riding with some things - you have to take it home. You can also get some "impression points" from the rubbish you picked up on the road.

3. Keep the path dry.

Summer may mean that there are no thunderstorms and heavy rain coming from where. This usually causes the ground to be filled with dirt and stagnant water scattered around. Even if you are ready to ride, some trails may require extra time to dry. Please wait patiently and let the road dry, otherwise you may permanently ruin a trail, especially if it is a trail that is used by a large number of people throughout the year. Be patient - it's worth it!

4. Don't take a short cut.

The builders of the mountain trails have invested a lot of work so that all riders can enjoy their creations. Therefore, do not destroy their hard work by copying the road and creating new routes outside the track. This is just selfishness. If you want to be creative, why not grab a shovel and make a trail yourself?

Obviously, copying the road will destroy nature, because the grass on the bushes and grass will wear out, so just enjoy the wonderful lines in front of you and be creative within its boundaries.

5. Give a helping hand.

If you see someone sitting next to the path, or struggling on their bike, or just looking a little lost - stop and check if they need help. In some cases, everyone will forget to bring a spare tire, a map, and drop their multi-tools at home. Someone may have had a serious impact, and some people have just lost a part. In any case, give help.

6. Kindness - say "Hi".

The most important thing is to be kind. Whether on the road or in other places, the next time you ride, make sure you say "Hi" and "thank you" when you pass.
