Millions of UK Tourists Face €200 Fine for Cycling with Earphones in Spain

As international travel resumes, millions of British tourists are planning to visit Spain. However, travelers are urged to be aware of a potential €200 fine for cycling with earphones. Cycling with earphones is illegal in popular holiday destinations like Spain and France due to safety concerns. Listening to music while cycling impairs a rider’s ability to hear road traffic and reduces awareness of warning signals, increasing the risk of accidents. Tourists are advised to avoid wearing earphones while cycling for their own safety.
