- Always give the unmotorized cyclist the right of way: people will judge your biking by your behaviour
- Slow down and be prudent when you approach and pass cyclists or other bikers, so they can notice your presence
- Always control your speed when approaching a curve and do consider that you may meet someone in the opposite direction
- Stay on the beaten track to not damage nature
- Don't frighten pets or wild animals. Give them time to go away from you
- Don't leave rubbish, take it with you and if possible also pick up rubbish left by others
- Respect both private and public property, signposts and leave gates just as you have found them
- Be always self sufficient. Destination and speed should be based on your own ability
- Don't pass through isolated areas alone if you intend to cover long distances. Communicate your destination and program.
- Respect the philosophy of bike touring for minimum environmental impact
