Cycling safety clothes for preventing traffic accidents

The Spanish clothing brand specializing in premium cycling equipment El Maze, with roots in Toledo in Santa Cruz de la Zara, has launched a new collection of safety clothing under the theme Respect focused on preventing traffic accidents and awareness of cyclists and drivers of Need for mutual respect. The fact is that this project is being carried out at a time when there is a considerable increase in the number of road riders.

 

According to their promoters, the range, consisting of jersey, culottes, cap, gloves, socks and waistcoat aims, without renouncing the design, to remind all the road users the “priceless value of respect”, at a time when Traffic accidents “are multiplying their notoriety worldwide” with celebrities as famous as GP motorcycle champion Nicky Hayden or the winner of a Gyro Michele Scarping.

 

50% of the profits from the sales of this equipment will go to the Stop Accidents Association, a non-profit organization founded by relatives and friends of victims of traffic accidents. The NGO will allocate these funds to the organization of bike and road education workshops in various schools in the Spanish geography.

 

“The road education is not only essential, but our best tool to avoid traffic accidents in the future. In our workshops, we encourage the use of bicycles as a means of transport and in the future we can make responsible use of them on the streets of the city, “says Ana Novella, president of Stop Accidents.

 

An icon that symbolizes respect

The #Respect range combines fluorine and reflective elements with an increasingly shared identity between cyclists and drivers: a large arrow that refers to the meter and a half of distance that should leave the cars when overtaking the bikes. “It is not so much a reflective element as an icon that symbolizes respect, doing things right. More than a demand is a feeling of pride, to know that you are on the side of the good, those who follow the rules and enjoy their passion, “said Gonzalo, spokesman for El Maze.

 

“That’s why,” he adds, “we are proud to collaborate with Stop Accidents, an NGO that has been struggling to reduce all kinds of accidents. It has done a very good job, but all help is small and we want to play our part to fight against this great scourge of society: the traffic accidents. “The sets are designed for the practice of road cycling and MTB with high temperatures, with last generation reflective fabric, tight sleeves, breathable sides and non-slip rubber on the bottom.

 

El Maze store comes from the blog El Tie del Maze that several cycling lovers created years ago to tell their adventures, talk about this sport and share their passion. That’s why they took the technical clothing line, tested and high quality.

Reflective fabric improve the safety coefficient

Technical fiber among technical fibers of reflective material, carbon is not only the racing element par excellence but also the promise of a controlled weight, the reverse of the medal a tariff that flies away. Nihau (a trademark belonging to the German manufacturer Louis) breaks this phenomenon of cause and effect and displays in its catalog an integral at ultra soft price. Under the 300 Euros mark, the NRX-1 displays top-of-the-range services, with a stretch design, aggressive at will.

 

Nihau does not go by four ways to seduce and offers the bikers the total, history to give them full view (in addition to the apparent carbon that still recipe).

Delivered as standard with a Pin lock lens the integral is entitled to a neck deflector, another nasal, a rapid disassembly mechanism (with beautifully made carbon platinum kit) and an emergency extraction system play.

 

Beautiful benefits that will be underlined by a removable interior super soft with embroidery (and reflective fabric) please and double loop D!

Available in two sizes of shell (XS to M and L / XL) the helmet is hardly especially in view of its price. The competition has worries to be done all the more that it accuses a ridiculously small weight of 1,249 grams (checked for a size S in full configuration!

German thinks of everything and even the embedded communication system which will find its place easily thanks to the specific cuts or to the lever of blocking of screen easily accruable.

 

SELF-EMPLOYED BENEFITS

It is understood the helmet slams squarely as the young people say but what is it once on the head? It is not on this theme that carbon will be taken in default. Easy to put on the helmet instantly comes into place.

Good release on the ears, comfort of ubiquitous foam, it even gave the impression of being more part of the integral touring than the segment racing … we will not complain.

Waterproof in the rain it will fish by ventilation more than limit at the level of the chin and insufficient on the upper part. Too bad, especially since the manipulation cursors could have been more practical. The Pin lock is purely and simply indispensable in mid-season and even insufficient under certain conditions of use.

We will reassure ourselves with a field of vision in the standard and a sound level that is so all. On this last point no miracle even equipped with the lower deflector…

 

BALANCE SHEET

Carbon helmets are expensive than special safety clothing? Nihau proves the opposite with a bonus level of finish above what one might think.

The NRX-1 has serious arguments such as comfort, stability, neutrality or general sealing. Of course it is far from being a champion neither of aeration nor to make prowess side noise but given its tariff it is more than good. A challenger capable of coming to look for helmets much less well placed and much heavier…

Police in safety vest suggest be careful on ice

They are approaching winter holidays, and with them the time fun and relaxation both at home and outdoors. Police officers wearing safety vest in the course of their duties are visiting Waters County, paying special attention to persons in areas of frozen water reservoirs. The uniforms remind us that being on the frozen surface of the ice carries the risk of drowning.

 

Traditionally, during the winter, and especially during the holidays, include police special supervision around water reservoirs. Policemen patrolling our seas areas of the county, react to any inappropriate behavior of children, young people and adults in places particularly dangerous. We follow: reckless, reckless use of the beauties of winter could end in tragedy. Them to the danger posed by playing on frozen rivers and lakes, and see if, if necessary, they were able to call for help. You should also warn children about the absolute prohibition of entering the frozen bodies of water without adult supervision. Police reiterates that the basic principle that should guide every person staying on frozen bodies of water is not stepping on the ice, so avoid an accident, which could lead ultimately to death.

 

If, however, we have to go to the ice, you should follow these guidelines:

Before entering the children on the ice, it should be checked by an adult guardian – ice must be at least 10 cm thick and should not be on the ice hole. And let children wear warm and safety clothing is necessary. Also, the air temperature must be negative,

Remember that the thinnest ice will be present near the mouth of rivers and canals, Streams Rivers, water intakes, bridges, piers, near the source (even those invisible) and in places where the bottom of arrears remains plants such.

Ice should include at least two people – can stay at a distance from each other, but always in sight. Under no circumstances should you step on the ice, if you close no one (including fishing).

 

Do not stick your hands in your pockets while on the ice – in the event of falling into the water easier to get out to the surface,

In case if you hear crackling ice, do not dwell, but immediately towards the shore.

Always where and which way to go and the scheduled time of return, walking on the water reservoir with a dog never runs for animals on the ice;

You should have with him any security equipment (ice spikes, whistle, and buoyancy aid).

In the case of the collapse of the ice to let us try to keep calm and call for help.

 

Let us move towards the shore all the time lying on the ice. When we see a person drowning, do not let us run toward her, because at us it can also break the ice. It is also forbidden to approach air hole upright, because in this way we increase the pressure point on the ice, which can collapse under-saving. If at hand, we have a long scarf or thick branch, try to through a distance throw and try to give the victim the other end, avoiding direct contact with him.

Police in reflective vest advises: If we do not have the ability to provide victim assistance immediately informed about our accident the nearest police station or fire department.

Many Nazis marching with wearing reflective vest

Several hundred Nazis in the Nordic resistance movement and their supporters in reflective vest marched today from the dome to Park in central Borlänge, where they have given speeches. Many of those involved in the Nordic Council of Resistance, NMR, is dressed in black pants and white shirts.

 

– You see that several of them have safety vest under their shirts. Some have riot shields, reports Swedish Radio reporter Jenny.

But there are also more people who join the train – a first estimate is that it involves about 200 people in total.

Swedish Radio has tried to interview participants NMR but do not want their followers talk to journalists.

 

– It was still a girl who said she was here to demonstrate against what she sees as treason, but then she stopped when she was talking to me – they should not be interviewed by anyone other than their own media, reports Jenny, reporter on the scene.

The plan is that the Nazis will march against Maserhallen and then down towards the center of Borlange.

 

And there are many who are looking at the Nazi demonstration.

– It does not look good, says a person we met.

Mats Karlsson is another of the standing and watching.

– I do not understand how they can set up and go like that and cry. I think it is wrong, he says. Someone met up with the Nazis and the police had to make a quick intervention.

 

P4 Dalarna talked to the police spokesman, Stefan Dangardt, about 13:40, and he says they have rejected some people dressed as clowns who were heading toward a place where the police thought they could disrupt order. But the police in safety clothing have not been deprived of liberty someone and says that situation so far is in the planning.

– It’s green location, said Stefan Dangardt.

Less more Flying tanks and flak safety jackets

It was held Wednesday morning at the headquarters of the CGIL of Rimini the second Organization of the police union conference.

It was held Wednesday morning at the headquarters of the CGIL of Rimini the second Organizational Conference of the police union Silp for CGIL. The meeting was introduced by the Provincial Secretary of Andrea category and continued with the report of the Regional Secretary Silp Daniele and with the intervention of the provincial. “In the security sector we are seeing in the last 10 years – said Daniele – a cut of € 9 billion and witness an increase of 23 billion for the Defense. Instead of F35 and tanks we believe that our country has greater need of flying and flak safety jackets, in short, all those tools to enable us to fight crime in the city, to give answers to people’s fears, to work, for example, the immigration phenomenon that unfortunately is transformed into a police problem and public order, while it would be an issue that should run the company. We are concerned this cut to resources as has worried us very much moving of the State Forestry Corps, from military to civilian police within the Carabinieri. And ‘This is a decision that goes against the trend to the police most modern and advanced. In our opinion, or we reverse the trend and return to invest in this sector, or the citizen inevitably will suffer, will suffer the city and also we will suffer. ”

 

In the document of the Organization Conference on “more synergies, more participation, more protection” where reference is widespread insecurity, fear of attacks, concerns about crime, the economic crisis, such as social vulnerabilities that engage the police in safety vest, stressing the strategic role that the Silp CGIL has to play in the key of social cohesion: through interaction with the CGIL categories engaged in activities related to the safety of the city; with its plans for the dissemination of legality in schools, among young people and among the most vulnerable sections of society; the continuous involvement of the social partners and with the coordination of the forces in the field and with projects that constantly follow decorum and live ability to make accessible and open places of aggregation and culture, public and private spaces.

 

The Conference Organization is moving in the path of the Fourth Congress of the CGIL SILP who had outlined a horizon defined and attainable for a reorganization of the Fund based on the unification of the police force in general jurisdiction, the centrality of the citizen, the efficiency of services, the elimination of duplication, streamlining of the hierarchical levels of coordination, the change of assumptions, more system resources. The modernization, for Silp CGIL also involves the review of leases, favoring state-owned real estate or better yet confiscated from the crime and the exploitation of labor, its quality and the different characteristics of the sector, implementing a full contract system of first and second level.

 

Graziano has referred to the social and territorial bargaining able to expand and combine the protection of citizens’ rights with those of work. Is about to open the discussion on the Financial Statements of Commons, on this topic one of the proposals that emerged was to ask the Mayor of Rimini in safety clothing a meeting to discuss the age-old problem of the headquarters of the Police. More generally, even the Silp CGIL intends to make its contribution as part of collective action aimed at building a growing network and articulated able to dialogue with the whole of civil society, workers and employees, pensioners and pensioners and even more with the young people.
