Here are some of the riding rules in Europe (compiled by FEMA):

Riding abroad – FEMA

The one that surprised me was that reflective stickers for your helmet are not compulsary for foreigners in France (up until now I was lead to believe that they were).

If there are any other rules that are missing please post them here Thnx

In France it is now illegal for all drivers and riders (including cyclists) to use headphones or in-ear devices. You can have built-in speakers in your helmet, so Bluetooth devices should be OK As a rule of thumb, if it doesn't have wires going into the helmet, it's OK. FWIW, trainers/trainees are exempt.

I believe that earplugs or earbuds of any kind are illegal in Spain.
