Cycling recommendations

Follow these guidelines to ensure your cycling trip is safe, fun and leaves as little impact on the enviroment as possible.The difficulty scale of cycling routes is divided into different categories: technical difficulty (S) and endurance required by the route (K). The scale can be a good starting point to assess whether the tour is suitable for you.

  1. We cycle healthy.
  2. We plan our trip diligent.
  3. We only cycle on the marked roads.
  4. We check the bicycle before the trip.
  5. We take with us everything we need.
  6. We use safety equipment-helmet,glowes,pads
  7. Pedestrians always have advantage.
  8. We regulate the speed of driving to our knowledge, terrain.
  9. We don’t leave any marks  behind us.
  10. Must think about animals, driving quiet and considerate.


Technical driving difficulty

S0

Structure of terrain

Bedrock with a good purchase

Obstacle

No obstacles

Rise/fall (descent)

To approx. 10% rise / to approx.  20 % downfall

Curves

Mild

Summary

Special technical driving knowledge is not important.

S1

Structure of terrain

Slacken grounding, small roots and rocks are possible.

Obstacle

Small obstacles, water ditches, damage because of erosion.

Rise/fall (descent)

To approx. 15 % rise/ to approx. 30 % downfall

Curves

Sharpen

Summary

Technical knowledge is needed, obstacle is possible to drive over.

S2

Structure of terrain

Grounding is not made up, big roots and rocks.

Obstacle

Shallow landing and stairs.

Rise/fall (descent)

To approx. 20 % rise / to approx. 60% fall

Curves

Mild hairpin bends

Summary

Progressively technical knowledge is needed.

S3

Structure of terrain

Rocky flats, lots of big roots and rocks, slippery grounding.

Obstacle

High landings

Rise/fall (descent)

To approx. 30 % rise / to approx. 70 % downfall

Curves

Sharpen hairpin bends

Summary

Perfect bicycle mortification is imperative.

S4

Structure of terrain

Lots of rocky flats, lots of big roots and rocks, slippery grounding, slacken gravel.

Obstacle

Steep ramps, few transport landings

Rise/fall (descent)

Partly > 30 % rise/ on lots of parts > 70 % downfall

Curves

Looped serpentines.

Summary

Perfect bicycle mortification is imperative with knowing the “trial” techniqe, such as moving the last wheel on hairpin bends.

S5

Structure of terrain

Lots of rocky flats with antirises,slippery grounding,slacken gravel-path has clearly recognisable mountain path features.

Obstacle

Steep ramps, barely driven landing

Rise/fall (descent)

Partly > 30 % rise /often> 70 % downfall.

Curves

Meshly hairpin bends with obstacles.

Summary

Perfect bicycle mortification is imperative with knowing the “trial” technique of the front and back wheel, which possibility is limited.
