There are bike trips for the summer, but cyclists need to be careful

Made Boleslaw district offers cyclists 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 of Cost. Those who are more proficient can swim, for example, when climbing on Hole Vichy and then go to fertile, straight to Number, or getting into the body while climbing the slopes of the Mt.

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 number of cyclists will not resist the fun of the pub and will not say one or more beer. The risk of collision is thus multiplied.

"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 all pay. "There are two, sometimes even more, cyclists who run side by 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 crossroads.

Frequently, according to the instructor, is the use of bicycle paths, which are often just off the road or entering the crossings, where cyclists have to properly dismount the bicycle. "Errors, of course, are also aggressive drivers. This is a fierce attempt to overtake cyclists on the horizon or in confusing turns. When something appears in the opposite direction, they tend to pull the wheel back where the cyclist is. "added Milan.

Accidents do not let them wait. This is confirmed by police records. "Since January this year, we have recorded 24 traffic accidents with cyclists, most of them with minor injuries, but in three cases the injuries were hard," said police spokeswoman Lucie.

The statistics, who were guilty of each accident, the police do not have, but quite eloquent is that more than a third of cyclists had alcohol in their blood. Out of those 24 cases, alcohol was measured by nine cyclists.

According to the spokesperson for accidents, too often insufficient reflective vests contributed. "Drivers who injured cyclists agree that cyclists were not seen at all or too late. The rule of seeing and being seen is the basic rule of road safety, "said Lucie. Police additionally appeal to all cyclists to wear helmets(iron-on reflective heat transfer vinyl), although they have been their free choice since the age of 18. Children under the age of 15-18 who is criminally liable for being deprived of their children may be fined up to a thousand crowns. Children under 10 may also be on the road only accompanied by a person over 15 years of age.

If the pedestrians are not in the dark, the fog or the gloom on the road is marked by reflective elements. They are liable to a fine of up to two thousand dollars in block proceedings. In administrative proceedings, the penalty ranges from 1500 to 2500 crowns.
