Fatal Accident near Sineu: Why Cyclists Remain at Risk on the MA-13a

Answer

Why are cyclists still at risk on Mallorca’s country roads?

Cyclists on Mallorca’s secondary roads often share narrow lanes with cars, farm vehicles and tourists, which leaves little room for mistakes. Poor visibility around bends, limited shoulders and inconsistent cycle infrastructure add to the danger. The risk becomes greater when traffic is busy and drivers do not slow down enough when overtaking.
