For safety reasons, do not leave the bicycle in a remote location. Rather, leave it in a place where
there are a lot of people and lock it up using a good U-shaped lock. A good option is to lock
the bicycle in a paid parking place or to ask an ice-cream shop worker, employees of a tourist
information centre, etc., to look after it. It is advised to leave the bicycle in video-surveillance camera
zone. For your own safety, use a relective vest and helmet and travel using bicycle paths where it
is possible.
