Jordan people are very friendly towards foreigners - you can expect high fives when cycling past them. It is often possible to catch a ride on a passing truck when your legs get tired.

Take care on steep routes - if a sign next to the street warns you to use a low gear, you can expect steep streets with tight turns and blind corners so that you have to brake constantly.
