More security for little "beavers"

Not only parents, educators and the police want to do something about children's car accident rates, but also a club that wants to get involved in a project to equip Kitas' kids with reflective vests, which should improve road safety, "Round Table" is the name of the union of men who have set themselves the goal of social involvement in various projects.

The "Biberburg" parents Mick and Katrin Dobber had made contact with the "Round Table", more precisely to the friendly Torsten Brandenburg, which belongs to the so-called "RT Münster 48". The parents had suggested equipping also the kindergarten "Biberburg" in the course of the club project with safety vests. The "Round Table" did not ask for long and traveled with 44 West, which presented a small delegation to the Kita leaders Ulla Brinkschulte and Irmela Höfener. "This is a great thing that benefits the safety of our children," rejoiced the women, who also thanked the Dobber couple for their thanks.

Meanwhile, the children moved to the West, of which the "Round Table" has already distributed 30 000 to various kindergartens nationwide. "We finance this through donations, which we acquire through various actions," said Torsten Brandenburg. "For the rest, we make sure that the vest is fair and not produced by child labor in China," added Daniel Hernaiz-Kleine of the "RT WAF 230".

The police, which was also in the day-care center on this day to practice with the children and parents the correct behavior in traffic, the action was very good. "This is absolutely in our interest because the children are much better recognizable by light reflection," said police chief Dagmar Hille and reminded the adults to wear reflective garments at the same time. "Here, too, you should be a role model," said the policewoman. Meanwhile, the children had prepared for the excursion into the traffic with the new West.

"Why is it good if you put on the vests?" Police chief inspector Bodo Kowatz wanted to know. "So that the cars do not run over us," the children formulated it frankly. And the policeman added: "If you go on an excursion, you will light up and be seen."

Then the children went with the policemen and their parents on the way through the village. Not only the youngest learned a lot. For example, small children have longer reaction times and different perceptions. Therefore, it is all the more important to make them fit for road traffic early. The police officers knew that safety vests with reflective fabrics are a tried and tested aid. However, they particularly appealed to motorists to take account of the weakest road users.

Bicycle outfit: we choose a T-shirt, pants and bike shoes


Bike outfit - why is it important?
Every lover of this sport should wear a bicycle outfit. A well-chosen sports outfit protects the body against harmful radiation or wind. Important in cycling clothing are reflective fabrics, thanks to which we are more visible to drivers, especially at night.

Suitable bicycle shoes should form part of the outfit. The choice of shoes will depend on the field of cycling. Shoes used for road cycling may differ in hardness from the shoes used by mountain bikers. Perfectly matched bike shoes should protect the foot and not cause painful abrasions or blisters on the feet.

Elements of bicycle outfit
The bicycle outfit consists of several elements. First of all, we should equip ourselves with several sports shirts, which we will put on ourselves during cold mornings. If the temperature during the day increases, we will be able to take them off gradually. A good idea is the use of reflective clothing that drains water vapor and sweat from the skin. Bicycle clothing should adhere to the body so as not to restrict movement, therefore it is not the best idea to choose a wide cotton sweatshirt.

Professional cyclists should wear a sweatshirt and a sports jacket, including a raincoat. When looking for pants for a bike, we will also find different types. From adjoining to thermally active or insulated. In summer, it is worth choosing short fitting shorts. If you travel a long distance on a bike, you should buy at least two pairs. Our feet should be protected not only by footwear but also longer bicycle socks, preferably from air-permeable material.

A protective helmet is sure to come in handy. When planning shopping, you should think about protecting yourself from the cold and stocking yourself with a neck scarf. Regardless of the season, bike gloves will be a good purchase - with stiffened but also flexible material.

Bicycle shoes
Bike shoes, like the outfit, should be skillfully chosen. Buying too big or too small shoes, in the hope that they will break up, is not a good idea. Bicycle shoes should fit, hold your foot and be comfortable. It is not worth saving on them.

Many cycling enthusiasts opt for SPD shoes, which are models adapted to be attached to SPD pedals (the mechanism connecting the shoe with the pedal), which in many cases can also be worn with classic pedals. Professional bicycle shoes have a hard sole that makes the ride easier, but it makes walking difficult, so if you only ride on a bike recreationally, and you want to use your shoes for other purposes, choose a sole with less hardness.

Trekking shoes with a thick, durable sole are good. The upper of the bike shoe should not be too high so as not to obstruct movements or cause abrasions. It is important that the material of the shoe is breathable, eg made of mesh in the front part of the shoe. Reflective materials on footwear will additionally affect our road safety.

Bike outfit - price
The price of a complete bicycle outfit may depend on the brand, material, and systems used in production. In the fall and winter season, we will dress warmer than in the spring and summer season, so we will pay more for the outfit. If we are just starting our adventure with a bike and we do not have a complete outfit, the whole thing can cost us even a thousand zlotys. However, it is not worth saving on individual items.

Elements of cycling outfit made of more durable material will be relatively more expensive, but they will also serve us longer. However, if we do not want to overpay, we can look for additives on stock exchanges or auctions.

Fashion revolution
The casual wear with their functional materials has undoubtedly had an enormous influence on the development of special clothing. So jackets and pants are hardly conceivable without stretch. The stretch ratio is either in the form of elastic fibers (EOL) incorporated directly into the tissue or found as patches in the waistband, back or shoulder area. The soft, flexible soft shell materials have contributed significantly to improve the wear ability. They have revolutionized weather protective clothing at the same time.
