Cycling

By law a bicycle should have:

• Bell

• Brake

• Lights and reflectors for driving at night

• Rear red lamps clearly seen by 300 meters

• Front white or yellow lamps clearly seen by 300 meters

• Reflectors- white in front, red in rear, white or yellow on sides

All children under the age of 15 must wear a helmet when on a cycle

Riding rules are similar to driving and you ride on the right side of the road

Cycling paths are abundant throughout Gothenburg and it is highly encouraged to use the paths while riding (There are many places to rent bikes throughout the city. The basic rate in Göteborg / Mölndal is 20 SEK per 30 minutes and a maximum of 300 SEK per 24 hours. The monthly or annual rate includes the first 60 minutes of each rental. Every additional 30 minutes will be charges at the basic rate.)
