Advice for those renting a bicycle

Riding a bicycle with traffic can bring all sorts of unexpected occurrences and riding next to the beach when a lot of people are walking can prove somewhat difficult. Be sure to respect the signs, respect traffic rules and, if it doesn’t cramp your style too much, use a helmet.
