Answer

How safe are Mallorca country roads for cyclists?

Mallorca’s country roads can be safe, but they often combine narrow lanes, limited visibility and mixed traffic, which makes them risky for cyclists. The danger is usually greatest at junctions and on roads where cars, vans, tractors and bikes share little space. Visitors on rental bikes can also be less familiar with local traffic patterns.
