Dozens of reflective vests went to Bialystok bikers. The next Municipal Guard in Bialystok will give away on Friday.

 

A very large group of road accident victims are pedestrians and cyclists, i.e. unprotected participants of the road traffic – says Joanna, spokesperson for the City Guard in Bialystok. That is why it is important to take care of their safety especially. During a collision with another vehicle, the driver can count on airbags or seat belts. Pedestrians and cyclists do not protect anything. Hi vis vests will at least allow them to be seen from a distance.

 

That is why the city guards decided to take matters into their own hands and ensure the safety of cyclists. On Thursday, every cyclist encountered on his or her way received a reflective vest.

 

Reflective tapes are an excellent form of ensuring visibility on the road – adds Joanna. Unfortunately, they are still underestimated, and often they save lives of unprotected road users.
