We will move to winter time. The daylight period will be shortened and this will impact our journeys and safety. For example, wear a safety vest to enhance your visibility. Here are a few tips…

 

Every year the same period, we back our clocks one hour. For 2016 years, the transition to winter time will take place this Sunday, October 30: at 3 am, it will be 2 hours. An hour of sleep gained this Sunday, we will lose again when switching to DST. The change in winter time is established, as every year, the last weekend of October, about a month after the autumnal equinox, or when the duration of daily sunshine passes under 12 hours.

 

So, that was why and how … But biker language, basically, this means above all that we will see less well at the same time! Here are some tips.

 

Winter time: Think about your lighting.

With the transition to winter time, the natural sunshine duration decreases. You will certainly have to take the road in the morning or go home in the evening and night.

Also, the useful time of the year you must check the quality of lighting. Dipped headlights, drive, taillight, brake light, turn signals, all light devices with reflective material operate it on your motorcycle?

 

Failing to provide him a full wash, consider at least cleaning your headlights flashing and cabochons, to be better seen. If possible, it is also an opportunity to check the azimuth of your headlight, to properly illuminate the road and do not disturb other users.

 

Winter time: Your equipment

If until then, you use a smoke screen for your daily commute, consider replacing the screen for a colorless or, at least, take it with you. There are reflectors, accessories to be better seen as armbands by example or high visibility vests which can be purchased commercially or online. Learn all about the yellow jackets, it’s here. Some brands offer LED equipment specifically designed to be visible at night. An example would be the helmet Shark we tested on Moto-Station. Be especially careful at night, around 17:00, in urban areas. The move to winter time is every year a critical peak accident for two wheelers, mopeds whose lighting is sometimes faulty, poorly equipped cyclists, pedestrians…

Keep a reflective strips for bike

Pants legs rolled up us ridged? If you do not want dirty trousers after a ride with the wire rope, you usually decide for this simple way. But there are alternatives.

It is a close connection; however, almost all cyclists are averse: when the oily bicycle chain comes too close to the trouser leg, this is not only a mess and usually broken reflective material, it can also be dangerous. If you want to avoid falls and keep a clean coat, you have some alternatives.

You can, of course, put your trouser leg in the stocking, but there are more practical alternatives that look better and safer. For around five Euros, there are straps made of thin steel, which are attached to the ankle and include the shackles and fabric. However, not everyone feels comfortable. Alternatively, textile versions are available with press studs or Velcro fasteners, which can be attached to the fluttering trouser leg and can be fastened comfortably to the handlebar or luggage carrier after driving. The press service bike advises to opt for a model with reflective strips, because these help to recognize the cyclist in the dark.

The Gift shop Design3000 offers a bicycle strap with Velcro closure and wings for stylishly safe cruising through the city. So the security aspect still gets a fashionable touch. The Fly rider by Donkey product is available in orange, yellow and light gray online for 12 Euros.

If the tour is longer, special cycling gear is available. Although it is about 100 Euros more expensive than a simple sports pants, but can be fixed to the leg differently tight, protects also from the rain and looks more like an ordinary jeans.

Because not only pants but also shoelaces can get lost in the chain, this must also be considered. Anyone who does not want to invest large sums of money in special racing bike shoes from the specialist retailer can order Sneaker from the bicycle reflective garment manufacturer, which has a lacing but protects it with a Velcro strap. If a stroll through the city is undertaken, the at least 50 Euro expensive models with their cushioned running sole are also suitable.

A research project by ADAC and the German Hunting Association could prove 2011 that can be accidents involving animals by using the blue reflectors are reduced by up to 80 percent. Accordingly, more and more vulnerable roads are equipped with them.
