When on the bike, please remember the following:

• Stay in the same direction as the traffic, and always on the designated bike paths.
• Use your lights at night. Not doing so will incur a fine if you are caught.
• Don’t be afraid to use the bell as a warning, but please don’t use it as a toy!
• When locking your bike, make sure the lock goes through the wheel, through the frame, and always lock it to a pole or a bike stand.
• And finally, have fun! Amsterdam by bike is the best way to see the city!
