Reflective clothing is especially important in the dark season.
Not everyone can afford an airbag helmet, but already conventional accessories can provide significantly more safety when cycling – especially in city traffic. These purchases make sense.
Protectors
Not only falls can be intercepted by knee and elbow protectors, even in bicycle accidents protect protectors from painful injuries. Anyone who is also on the BMX bike in the skate park should also think about a back protector. Because a fall on the back can have dramatic consequences.
Fluorescent jackets which made of reflective fabric
The reflective vest is no longer a novelty, but you can still see cyclists without – or does not see them. Anyone driving a car knows how hard it is to see dark-clad cyclists at dusk. Meanwhile, there are also fashionable variants, such as belts made of LED lights.
Rearview mirror
In order to have good visibility in the flowing (city) traffic to the rear, we recommend the purchase of a rear-view mirror. Nevertheless, the little helpers, of course, do not replace a shoulder glance – especially when turning and overtaking! Who combines both, is safe on the road.
