Correct answer: Yes, if the rider is an adult and the passenger is a child weighing up to 22 kg in an approved seat.

Since October 1, 2026, an adult cyclist may carry a child weighing up to 22 kg who can sit unassisted, in an approved additional seat. The seven-year age limit no longer exists. On interurban roads, this is allowed only during the day and with good visibility.
