Answer

How safe is cycling on Mallorca's country roads?

Mallorca’s rural roads can be difficult for cyclists because traffic often moves quickly and many stretches have narrow shoulders. Conditions can change fast with light, farm traffic, or roadside hazards, so cyclists need to stay highly visible and alert. Safety also depends on driver behaviour, road maintenance, and how well risky sections are marked.
