Headlights front and rear, safety vest and reflectors on the wheels and on the pedals are compulsory equipment when traveling by bike, especially when night falls more quickly, as is the case today.
And there are still too many cyclists who forget that they are not always clearly visible to motorists without reflective material. An action will be conducted in Charleroi this thank you around 16:30 near the Form and the former roundabout of the three cocks.
For Hélène, the head of the GRACQ,”A motorist must see the cyclist as soon as possible so that he has time to shift in relation to him. We still see in the street many cyclists dressed in Wearing a Reflective vest is not mandatory but it is advisable, especially young people who are not well equipped while they are, for example, on the way to school.”
At 16h30 this Wednesday, the GRACQ will distribute equipment kits to the cyclists too dark. And the others, better equipped, will be entitled to a small chocolate.
