In Spain cyclists have to wear a helmet outside urban areas but are exempt during periods of excessive heat, on steep hills or if they are professional cyclists. Helmets are mandatory for all children under 16 years. This covers them if they are riding or if they are a passenger.
And remember that it is prohibited:
- To two people in a trailer.
- To ride on a motorway.
- To ride using headphones, ear phones or a mobile phone.
- To ride a bicycle with an alcohol level over 0.25mg of alcohol per litre of exhaled air.
