Hi, I like the website. It's a nice start in getting people out there. A few minor things:
"While riding, the backpack does not necessarily have to stay on your back. You can mount a pannier rack to your bike allowing you to attach your backpack/bag there while riding."
That's an odd claim. Most backpacks can't fit easily to a pannier rack. I'm not totally sure what you mean here.
A couple of times you write something like "Don’t be lazy to stop". That reads slightly strangely to me. Do you mean "Don't be reluctant to stop?"
One more major point. This paragraph is quite questionable, especially the bit in bold:
"Always ride passively
It does not matter if you are right or wrong when it comes to interacting with heavy vehicles. They will always win. And it’s of course not about winning, but being safe. So slow down, let others pass, take your time and anticipate things looking forwards."
It might be worth revisiting that, since the general advice is to ride assertively. "Passively" suggests that you're just an obstruction in the road that motorists will need to overtake.
