Why Mallorca Remains Dangerous for Bikers — and What Could Really Help

Answer

What are the main causes of motorcycle crashes in Mallorca?

Traffic police point to three main factors: alcohol and drugs, excessive speed and distraction from phones. In Mallorca, those risks are often made worse by demanding roads, limited familiarity with the route and occasional problems with rental motorcycles. The mix of locals and short-stay visitors can also create unpredictable situations.
