Car hits cyclist on MA-13 near Sa Pobla – who protects cyclists?

Answer

Do tractors and delivery vans make cycling on Mallorca roads more dangerous?

Yes, they can make the road feel more complicated because they move differently from cars and need more space when turning or overtaking. On rural Mallorca roads like the MA-13, cyclists may share the carriageway with tractors, vans and other slow-moving vehicles. That mix is not unusual, but it does require more patience from drivers and more caution from cyclists.
