Light cycling: “cyclists, you must shine”

As 60-year-old Sylvain, a member of Better Cycling (MDB), several practitioners of the Little Queen went on a nocturnal walk to raise awareness of the need for light.

 

“Nobody rides on the bike if he does not have a high visibility vest and reflex reflectors on the wheels,” warns Nicole, 61. Associations Les Urbanites, Better to ride a bicycle (MDB), organized this Tuesday a “light walk” in the streets. The appointment was given to the metro Agnates. “The goal is to educate bike enthusiasts to be visible at night. Friend’s cyclists, you must shine, “says Sylvain, member of MDB, equipped with a thin light garland.

 

And in this matter, Nicole, over-equipped from head to toe, is an expert. Flashing red lights around his neck, at the front and back of the bike, fluorescent vest and bracelets, white helmet with brightly drawn stars … “At least,; the cars see me and I feel safe, she says, with a singing accent. To ride a bike, you have to be careful! ”

 

Precautions that Mohammed, 70, takes “for a long time”. “I have my little dynamo, my rear light, and my vest: everything is fine! He says with a big smile. His neighbor Noelle, 68, came to accompany her for the occasion; she is a novice in the field. “I never ride at night, it’s too dangerous! Even equipped with a safety vest, motorists do not see us, “she says. Without any equipment, Noelle will not escape the general distribution of lights and reflex reflectors by the MDB association before departure.

The yellow safety vest soon extended to 2 wheels

As of January 1, 2016, the retro-reflective or high-visibility safety vest becomes mandatory for motorcycles and scooters. The yellow vest becomes mandatory for motor vehicles with 2 and 3 wheels, and 4 non-body wheels, as well as for motorists. The government has finally decided after having made the wind vane on the subject for years!

 

In fact, the wearing of the retro reflective safety vest was to be compulsory at the beginning of 2013 by all drivers or passengers of a motorcycle, of a cylinder capacity greater than 125 cm3 or of a vehicle of category L5e with a power greater than 15 kW. Repealed from its entry into force in favor of a simple recommendation to wear a vest, the Inter-ministerial Committee on Road Safety has decided to go backwards.

 

A decree and a decree have just extended the requirements for the possession and wearing of a high-visibility reflective vest by the drivers of these vehicles (1). The wearing of the vest was previously applicable to motorists, and will be extended to the drivers of a motor vehicle with 2 or 3 wheels (motorcycle, scooter …), or a motor quadricycle not bodied (for example a quad ) from 1 January 2016 as soon as they have to leave the broken down vehicle. They will have to dispose of them or storage of their vehicle (net, trunk …) and wear it when they get off their vehicle after an emergency stop, to improve their visibility, as for the motorists.

 

Compliance with this obligation, provided for in the Highway Code (2), may be controlled by the police and sanctioned in case:

Non-detention by a 1st class offense (11 Euros for the fixed fine),

Non-wearing of the high visibility vest following an emergency is stop by a violation of 4th class.

 

First-graders receive warning safety vests

Menden explained to the first-graders the importance of warning safety vests. “You need them to be protected so you can be seen by cars,” Grebe explained to the excitedly listening children.

 

It was very important to wear the vest over the school satchel, added Jensen. Students from the second class sang songs during the event and wore their warning vests because, according to Rector Stephanie Bachmann, they “should serve as a model for the younger pupils”. Grebe presented the effect of the high visibility vest to the children by illuminating the dark-clad Mayor Mathias Eiders (SPD) and the second-grader Tristan in his safety vest with a flashlight.

 

The children were waiting for their safety vests at the end of the event. The six-year-old Lines were very happy about the gift and will continue to wear it in the future “because the vest is so beautiful.”

 

“The goal is to encourage the children to go to school even without parents with the waistcoat,” said Eiders. The parents had to stand behind them and make sure that their children are carrying the West, Gruber emphasized. At further schools in Han. Menden, Sheen and Unterberg, the West is still to be distributed. The first years of the Gottingen have been visible since Friday. Alexander Regain, deputy head of Fogelman in Gottingen, handed over 100 safety reflective vest in owl shape.

 

Practice the school route again with wear safety vest

In the previous year, 570 children were injured on the way to school. The association “Large protect small” advises: “Always keep the safe way with older children, keep a high visibility vest, avoid distractions and reduce speed!” Every year, about 1300 children are walking around the country on foot, by bicycle or by road and sports equipment.

 

Almost half of them were injured on the way to school.

“Practice the school route not only with the schoolchildren, but with all the schoolchildren and the 10-year-olds who go to high school or the new middle school! Even if the path is not new: First, the holidays are much forgotten, secondly, important points have often changed. Parents of schoolchildren, together with the next generation, should best deal with the safest way to school in the last two weeks. It is extremely important that children not only know the traffic rules but can also apply them well “, emphasizes Holler Till, President of the Association” Large Protect Small “and Executive Board of the Grazer Kinder.

 

Lack of awareness of danger

The trigger for childish pedestrian accidents is often a confusing traffic situation. Children look less often on the left, run impulsively across the street, appear more suddenly behind obstacles, play with the mobile phone, follow people without looking and choose the shortest way.

In addition, the awareness of the dangers of schoolchildren is still reduced to the moment. They can only recognize ad hoc: “Now I am in danger”.

The anticipated perception of danger, which is so important for traffic safety, is not fully developed until 11 years.

 

Dangerous distractions

Distractions, such as the mobile phone, are a second serious risk factor: “Talk to your child that telephones, also a great danger for pedestrians. It is best to leave the next generation on the way to school, “advises till. Also the headphones stay better at home, so that the ears are free for traffic noise. On the sidewalk, it is important to go as far in as possible, not to run, push or catch.

 

Be sure to plan the time: Stress increases the risk of accidents!

Sleeping well and having breakfast? This is especially important for school children when it comes to attention and concentration – not only at school, but also on the way there.

Make sure that your child is wearing bright or reflective clothing and a schoolbag with sufficiently large reflectors, especially in the dark season – this is the norm of DIN 58124!

When your child walks: Choose a school path that your child can safely cope with! Take some detours for this!

Show your child that there is a need to pay attention to the traffic lights at the traffic lights!

 

The number of children walking to school generally decreases. Just before school days, too many cars are on the road just before school starts – because children are increasingly being brought by their parents.

“By means of regular pick-up and delivery services, however, children who are on foot are much more at risk,” warns the association.

 

In addition, children in safety vest often benefit from the fact that they are on their way to school: not only is their safety to be promoted in road traffic but also positive effects on the joy of movement, social relationships and the ability to concentrate in the classroom.

 

How to properly set the lights in the car

With fast dusk and limited visibility, driving in the autumn and winter time requires more attention and skill behind the wheel. A high visibility vest can enhance the bright can keep you safer. In front of us is increased traffic on the roads due to Christmas and New Year holidays and trips to the holidays.

 

Remembering your own safety and other road users, pay attention to the state of the lights in our vehicles:

– The driver must always have lights turned on – according to the road conditions

– Lamp shades should be clean

– The lights must be set correctly – otherwise they will light up too close or dazzle other drivers

– The lights are always replaced after replacing the bulb, reflector, safety vest, cullet, repairing the suspension. We recommend using incandescent lamps approved by approved manufacturers – do not install LEDs and xenon bulb substitutes.

– If the reflector or diffuser is frayed and the light is shining poorly or the beam is blurred, it is safer to replace the reflector with a new one.

 

– Remember that most of the lights in vehicles at night do not guarantee sufficient illumination of the road, because the range of correctly positioned lights is between 20 m and 70 m on the left and rarely exceeds 100 m on the right. It is worth remembering during the overtaking maneuver.

– When driving at dusk, with the passing beam, be careful and safe, which is often well below the maximum allowed. The light of our car may be much weaker than other cars, sometimes for our own safety we should go slower than others.

 

– Adjust the speed also on the corners – the passing lights are asymmetrical, so when turning the corner is much better lit the turn to the right, and at the turn to the left the road is lighted closer and we are much dazzle

– We appeal to pedestrians to use proven reflective surfaces as large as possible, and placed low, reflective bands on their feet. Attested reflective vests are best seen. The fact that pedestrians see the car lights does not mean that the driver sees the pedestrian – it is safer to go down the road.

 

 

Night tram ride without a destination

Almost all cities with tram lines organize events for fans of these rail vehicles. Elblag also has its enthusiasts who meet to make a tour of the city at night by tram.

 

The Elblag City Lovers Club has been operating since 2013. At that time, members in reflective vest began to collect tickets, drivers, timers, tables and timetables. These memorabilia could be seen a year ago at an exhibition organized on a tram in the Old Town. Their passion is to infect others, so on the night of 22-23 August they organized a tram ride through the city. The event was open and everyone could take part. The club announced it on their Facebook profile.

 

On the journey of the GT6-243 wagon, not only Elblag but also Gdansk and Germany did not go. More than 20 people stared at the city by tram pavement on a daily unused route. The ride started at. 23.40 And ended at 3.30. Previously the wagon had to be rented, and the cost per person was 35 zlotys. The organizers have prepared special tickets and direction boards to highlight the nature of the event. At the selected stops the participants went out to take a photo of themselves. Safety was also taken care of: the group was dressed in reflective safety vests, and each of them was supervised.

 

– Passers-by reacted very enthusiastically, they took pictures with us, we sang someone’s birthday “One hundred years” – says amused 16-year-old Pewee, a member of the Club. – We also met a police patrol who was a little surprised. The idea of organizing the Tramway Night was invented, “he continues. – We kept the spirit of the party, sang the song. In all Polish cities, where trams are, I have friends – thanks to trips and integration. Now I’m going to a mechanical college. What will later, I do not know, but I see myself in the world of trams?

 

“My family is working on the railroad, but I, as a toddler, was afraid to ride a railroad,” says Magdalena, who took part in a Thursday tram ride. – Later I had to overcome and not enough that I convinced it and I was fascinated. Then the first place was for me, and now there are trams. I’m going from September to train for a typewriter on a racetrack, though I would prefer a tram. I encourage all girls – interesting, because it’s really cool. I hope elbow-teammates will come up with such action more than once.

 

The City of Lovers of Urban Communication in high visibility vest has plans for a new Tram Nights. The exact date is not yet known. Tram enthusiasts want to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the GT6 and 5N wagons in our city and the 10th anniversary. They also want to ride the oldest 401 wagon on the loop at the General, because soon will be the 10th anniversary of the track on this street.

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Hundreds of gunmen, sport shooters, hunters in high visibility vest and members of the armed forces in the middle under the statue of St. Wenceslas in Prague protested against the Euro smart on weapons, which was approved by the European Parliament on Tuesday despite the strong opposition of the Czech Republic.

 

The MPs, representatives of the Bohemian-Moravian Hunting Unity, as well as the double champion of the world in sport shooting Adam Tic and the representatives of the armory men, took part in the improvised hunting ceremony on Wenceslas Square.

 

A demonstrator has in their hands banners with inscriptions such as “Prohibit Radicalism, Not Weapons,” “EU Guidelines bury us,” or links to disarmament in 1938.

Demonstration at Wenceslas Square in Prague against a European directive tightening arms possession.

 

The speakers in safety vest agreed that the EU directive by limiting the legal possession of weapons does not complicate the lives of terrorists and organized crime. According to them, a strict Czech law on weapons should be an example for other countries.

 

“The vote was held in the Euro parliament in five minutes, the usual debate was not accepted and no amendments to the Czech MEPs were voted,” said Bohemia Strake of the Czech-Moravian Hunting Union.

 

Retired captain Jixi Kink said that freedom is at stake. “Today they are arms, tomorrow they are basting pocket knives. Do not make us stupid of us; it’s because of the fight against terrorism. The Brussels elite actually started to worry their own citizens, “he said.

 

Constitutional amendment and action

Martin Lank, Marshal, has called the directive a Pasqual. “The only thing the EU has come up with in response to terrorist attacks is this norm. Now we have to take full advantage of the time left before we have to transpose the directive into Czech law by filing an action against the European Court of Justice, and anchoring the right to hold the gun in the constitution, “he said.

 

KSČM deputy Zukav also voiced support for the constitutional amendment. “I am convinced that protecting our country is not a right but a duty of citizens,” she said.

Also, according to Strake, there is no other solution to the current situation than to oppose the directive by a constitutional amendment proposed by thirty MEPs across the ranks that the House will still be dealing with.

 

Funeral parade in reflective vests

Wednesday’s event culminated in a funeral parade accompanied by music that brought a coffin full of roses, cups and medals from sports competitions before the European Commission headquarters in nearby Street. At the mourning parade, a number of participants took the reflective vests that the hunters wear for hunting to point out the security that needs to be handled when handling weapons.

 

The organizers planned to hand over the coffin to EC representatives, but after ten minutes the protesters did not get anybody, so when the national anthem was sung, the procession turned and went back to Wenceslas Square.

Prostitutes are bound to wear reflective vests in Italy

Italian prostitutes will be forced to give up mini-skirts and high-cut blouses in favor of trousers and reflective vests to avoid highway accidents.

Women who practice prostitution every night on a crowded Milan highway risk a fine of 500 Euros if they refuse to wear garments imposed by the authorities.

Officials in Spine dada say prostitutes are causing traffic problems without wearing high visibility vest on the Milan-Cremona route and should be treated as construction workers.

According to The Independent, some 15,000 prostitutes gathered in the Milan region after many tourists came to the area to attend the 2015 Exhibition Fair in Milan.

“Prostitutes should be treated as roadside workers and should be forced to wear reflective clothing to make them more visible,” said Lucian Sonia, vice-mayor of Spin dada. According to him, those who are caught twice without the right clothes will be taken to the police station.

Reflective jacket is the second backbone of motorcyclist

The reflective jacket is our second backbone, so on a motorcycle I always accompany me practically, even if my ride ends 2km. The jacket is available in several color variants. We chose white with blue and black inserts.

The jacket was made of polyester 500D and also reinforced with Durian and R-tech material. Such a mixture of materials directly affects the comfort we feel. Nothing blocks our freedom, we have a full range of movement, and additional adjustments on the waist and on the sleeves allow you to fit the jacket to our silhouette (also after removing the napkin and rainbow membrane).

Our touring set ran in full sun on the Suzuki Bandit 1250, experienced the rain and wind on the Triumph Tiger 800 Rx and also a bit of sand on the Honda XRV 750 Africa Twin. In each of these conditions, Mica was able to manage. The inside was nice all the time. The wind did not have access to me; the rain did not end up with wet hands. And hot days?

On the heat we have a special main ventilation panel in Area jacket – sewn from a thick 3D mesh. After removing a special tongue, we see a few inches wide of the ventilation belt, which extends from our waist, across the chest at the end of the neck. This is the main ventilation that lets cool air into the inside of the jacket and distributes the interior. In addition, we also have two vents under the armpits.

But how does it work when the temperature exceeds 30 ° C? The jacket without the napkin gets very light and pleasant, while driving we feel like the cooler air enters the “ventilation chimney” – but there is no charm, ventilation requires movement. While standing 5 minutes in the red light, the heat coming from the sky reaches us. All you have to do is move on to become more enjoyable again. This is not a super-hip-chic t-shirt jacket, but no mesh jacket will give us such a Safety certified by elbows and shoulders, as well as R-tech reinforcements. On the back we have a pocket to which to put a back protector – because unfortunately this manufacturer does not add as standard.

This is one of Mica’s main assumptions – high visibility vest is greater security. That is why both the jacket and trousers have a large number of reflective panels made of high quality materials. However, if it is not enough for you – you can buy a dedicated vest and special light on the back of the LED technology. Once you’ve set it all up, you become more visible than a Christmas tree full of Christmas

The trousers are built like a jacket, but have a better waterproof membrane. It is also worth noting the reinforcement on the lower leg (more resistant to abrasive properties of the asphalt) and certified knee pads. At our disposal we have two waterproof pockets zippered, and two large pockets on the thighs, which we will put our daily supply of souvenirs from wilderness)

There are two side panels for ventilation and a special panel around the knees. When they are opened in the middle, there is a wave of cooler air. However, as it turns out – further pulling the buckle on the knees transforms trousers into a set of short tourist gates. In fast and efficient way with motorcycling we can go to explore the surrounding ruins, rocks and folklore.

Atom is a glove for extremely bad weather, and their construction suggests a warm ride. In practice it is even better where the warmed up gloves go, where pulls out his secret weapon – a rechargeable battery system.

Of course, the safety vests are obviously thicker than the summer ones and do not have ventilation, but their use does not mean that we are completely separated from the machine and lose our sense of control. Already during the first tour we get used to their thickness and easily handle the gas and brake and clutch levers.

The travel set from is not one of the cheapest and simplest – it is aimed at a specific audience that values comfort, comfort and safety without having to bother with details.

Reflective fabric is used in the Riding School

“Project Parsifal” is the motto at the premiere on Sunday (8 pm) in the Horse-riding hall. The production is based on a text by Tanked Dorset.

The “Parsifal” fever has also reached the theatrical clubs with high visibility vest of the “Jungle Land esthete” a month after Richard Wagner’s stage festival “Parsifal” celebrated its premiere on the stage of the Great House: Parsifal, the impetuous would-be rival, leaves a lot of burnt earth on his way, until after a long grave search for repentance and repentance. “Project Parsifal” is the premiere motto on Sunday in the riding hall (beginning: 8 pm) according to a text by Tanked Dross.

A hero wear the cloth with reflective fabric in the tension field of youthful overflow and experience-oriented lifestyle – which substance could be better suited for a joint project of Youth Club and Club 56? Starting out from the medieval Parsifal myth, the club members explore the topics “freedom and faith” from the perspective of two generations, the young ones, who are still full of ideals and strive for freedom, and the older one, reflectively on their lives Looking back and remembering past moments of happiness. Is there an innate sense of justice? Does it need a superior moral authority? And what is the right way in life?

The concept of space opens up new perspectives for the audience to the stage. The otherwise usual separation of the auditorium stage is canceled. It was arranged around the playing surface with some reflective element in an aristocratic manner surround a round table which creates an inner and an outer view on the circle of life: in the middle people who are at the beginning of their journey, on the outside people who look back on a part of their years Table all meet. – Further performances: 16th, 17th May, 23rd, 24th, 25th June, 8 pm.
