Officers of the Poviat Police Headquarters on Wednesday (8 May) once again this year carried out the campaign "Safe bicycle season 2019." These were joint road and city authorities' activities in favor of cyclists' safety, consisting of giving the cyclists their reflective vests.
On Wednesday morning, policemen from the road club focused their activities in this area, where many cyclists appear.
The aim of the activities was to improve safety on the roads of unprotected road users by increasing their visibility. On that day, cyclists came to receive reflective vests funded for residents by the city authorities. It was handed by the mayor Krzysztof Kaliński and the head of the traffic section Mariusz Kajewski. In total, 50 reflective vests were distributed.
The police are encouraged to wear reflective vests not only in the evening but also during the day. Vests significantly improve the visibility of the cyclist and thus increase its safety on the road.
It should be remembered that the reflective vest with reflective tape does not release from the obligation of proper lighting and bicycle equipment.
"In addition, we would like to remind you that in connection with the beginning of the cycling season, the popularity of this means of locomotion in the city and the thefts of two-wheelers appearing during this period, we continue the campaign of marking bikes last year," adds the policewoman.
Police officers from the Poviat Police Headquarters can mark a bicycle with any interested person. Engraving and a durable sticker, as well as creating a database of these two-wheelers will certainly scare away bicycle thieves.
