Cycling is our passion.
Sports etiquette and the principles of fair play
While fair play is often associated with sports its values are so universal that they are leveraged to all aspects of life, including education, business, culture, traffic, family relationships, and relationships with loved ones. Formal and informal rules aim to ensure equal opportunities for everyone to achieve their goals and encourage a fair intention – that our actions steam from the principle of honesty and fairness.

Fair play in cycling races
Cycling races are not just competitions for victory; they are also an opportunity for cyclists to show respect to fellow competitors, spectators, the sport, and organizers. The purpose of recreational races is not to promote competitiveness but a healthy and active way of spending leisure time.
Each participation in a race requires a certain level of physical fitness and good psychophysical condition. Excessive strain on your body in non-professional settings is not beneficial and can even be detrimental. The guiding principle of recreation is joy. Pure joy, socializing, making connections, and maintaining the body in excellent condition for a quality aging process.
Three simple rules
Simple, but crucial for cycling pleasures
- Obey the road traffic regulations.
- Respect your body.
- You are not alone in traffic. Respect other road users.
The principles of fair play are universal values and a compass for all areas of life to enhance the quality of coexistence among people.
Cycling etiquette
Cycling etiquette is the key to a good race as it contributes to creating a positive environment and a safe and fair competition. Below are the key principles of cycling etiquette that all cyclists should respect in cycling events; both professional and recreational, although there is a significant difference between them: the importance of time.
In recreation, time should not be our ruler; the ruler is the quality of spent free time that fills your batteries, "disconnects" you from everyday stress, brings you closer to yourself, connects the mind and body.
- Respect your fellow competitors
- Safety first.
- Fair play on the road
- Respect the fans.
- Maintain a clean sports spirit.>
- Encourage slidarity and collegiality.
- Share experiences.
- Respect the organizers.
- Respect the environment.
