Is It Safe to Ride a Bike in Bali?

It depends on many factors. Undoubtedly, Bali is a great place for biking due to its scenic roads and routes, beautiful views, and warm climate. However, as in any other part of the world, there are risks associated with transportation management.

In Bali, the roads may differ from those you are used to in your country. They can be poorly lit, have narrow turns, and steep climbs. Also, on the island's roads, you may often encounter faulty vehicles or drivers seriously violating traffic rules.

Additionally, on the island, you may face various cultural and language barriers, which can complicate communication with locals in case problems arise on the road.

In general, to enhance your safety when riding a bike, it is recommended to follow traffic rules, be attentive, observe speed limits, wear a protective helmet, and avoid driving under the influence. If you are not confident in your biking skills or do not have a driver's license, we recommend taking lessons from a reputable motorcycle school and obtaining an Indonesian license or refraining from using bikes and other vehicles to avoid situations that may lead to serious consequences.
