1.  Give your bike a regular checkup, especially if you've had it for years.
2. Be seen: you must wear a high vis jacket (or sash) in tunnels and on country roads after sunset.
3. Always wear your helmet.
4. Make sure your front and rear lights are working.
5. Put out your arm to give advance warning of your intention to change position and before you do anything, check there are no vehicles coming up behind you.
6. Don't use headphones or your mobile phone handsfree kit: you need all your concentration on the road!
7. Obey the road signs: stop at traffic lights and don't ride on the wrong side of the road.
8. If you are cycling in a group, always go in single file.
9. You've got a bell: use it to let pedestrians know you're there. Don't ride on footpaths. If you have to then get off and push your bike.
10. If there are cycle paths use them. It's your safety that's at stake and the rules of the road say you must.

Note: 

The cycle pathe in Trentino are usually closed by the local authorities from November, 15th to April, 15th. Exceptions are the cycle paths along the River Adige and in the Basso Sarca/Garda Trentino, where cycling is prohibited only in case of ice or during a snowfall. 

The information on this chart is subject to inevitable variations, so this means that none of the indications are absolute. It is not entirely possible to avoid giving inexact or imprecise information, given how quickly environmental and weather conditions can change. For this reason, we decline any responsibility for changes which the user may encounter. In any case, the hiker is advised to check the conditions of the places, environment and weather before setting out.

The cycle path starts in the village of Vezzano: it can be reached from the village square, following Via Roma towards Trento (northwards) until you reach a roundabout.  At the roundabout, follow the signs for the cycle path as far as Lake Terlago. The return journey is along the same route.

Vezzano is connected by the intercity bus line 205. For up-to-the-minute information on timetables and routes

Getting to northern lake Garda / Garda Trentino

Riding your bike requires specific clothing and equipment, even for relatively short and easy trips. It is always better to be prepared… e.g. for bad weather or a drop your energy levels. The unexpected things also make up a part of the fun!

Remember to thoroughly evaluate the type of route you plan to do, the locations you plan to cross and the current season. Has it been raining? Attention: The paths may be slippery and require more caution.
