a whole range of routes. They can choose from those simple to the most
demanding. For example, a ride along the Jeer road, a trip through Branded or Darlene

Being a helmet is quite a common
phenomenon, there are still those who swear only on the wind in their hair.
Some of them also take the road traffic rules lightly, not to mention that a

"Cyclists and car drivers are two
groups that traditionally do not like, everyone who is sitting in the car and
vice versa is sure to know," Milan, instructor of the driving school,
said. Representatives of both groups are making a number of mistakes that they

side and recall, rather than being behind the edge of the road. A big disgust
is also the absence of reflective materials or dark clothes
at night. "he added. Other frequent bugs include ignoring priority at a

appears in the opposite direction, they tend to pull the wheel back where the
cyclist is. "added Milan.

third of cyclists had alcohol in their blood. Out of those 24 cases, alcohol
was measured by nine cyclists.

accidents, too often insufficient reflective vests contributed.
