As is well known, cyclists are a vulnerable group when they travel by road between cars and other vehicles. Despite the regulations to leave the minimum space of 1.5m to overtake, many are the drivers who commit infractions endangering the lives of those who ride on the bike.
For this reason, any element that helps to increase the visibility of them is helpful to add safety, although in the end this always ends up depending on the awareness of the drivers themselves. From Taylor we offer several options for road safety that have the sole purpose of contributing to saving the physical integrity of cyclists who leave by road to train. All of them are available in custom, so you can include them in the customization of your cycling gear.
First, we have the fluorescent colors, which multiply the cyclist’s visibility on the asphalt. The FLUOR ADDICTION collection is the living example. It is not the same to see “spot” yellow fluorescent than to see it black or some other neutral color. In the first case, the circulation of the cyclist becomes more evident, and, therefore, safety is gained. When it comes to customizing your jersey, you can include these colors in your designs, which also, as has been proven, also give an extra personality and style to the garment.
Another of the elements we use in our culottes are the reflective cuffs, available in both short and long versions (3 cm the first and 7 cm the second). They incorporate micro-points of reflective material on the surface that makes them shine when the light strikes directly, also increasing the cyclist’s visibility and making the garment useful, so that they can circulate when the sun is going out or even at night. These cuffs can be sublimated, so they can incorporate any design and / or color, also fluorine, of course, as we can see in the FLUOR ADDICTION collection.
Finally, we also have reflective living, which can be incorporated into any seam of our cycling jersey or jacket. It gathers the same properties as the fist, but in this case the surface is not covered with microdots of reflective material but it is in its entirety, shining slightly more than the fists.
