Bike helmets

For all cyclists in Spain, Turkey and Croatia it is required by law to wear a helmet. In Italy, for children up to and including 16 years of age it is required by law to wear helmets; in Austria wearing a helmet is a legal obligation for children up to and including 12; in Slovakia for children up to and including 14 and for everyone cycling outside of residential areas. In France adult cyclists are not obliged to wear a bike helmet, but children aged 12 or under are.

Not compulsory
In all other countries, wearing a helmet is recommended, but not compulsory. If you want to wear a helmet, we advise you to buy your own and bring it with you. On our premium tours use of a rental helmet is included in the price when you rent a bicycle or e-bike and they are available on board on request. On most other tours you can rent a helmet (please order it in advance).
