Answer

What time of day is most risky for riding a motorcycle in Mallorca?

Late afternoon and evening can be more difficult in Mallorca because light changes quickly, especially in valleys and on winding roads. Reduced visibility makes it harder for drivers to notice motorcycles, so riders should slow down and stay alert as daylight fades.
