In Cairo, cycling is a great adventure

Young Egyptians are getting more and more into the streets of Cairo by cycling. The Egyptian metropolis is notoriously known for its transport chaos. The streets are clogged with blowing cars and buses, and the city covers the smoke of exhaust fumes. The footpaths are unusable, and the word of the bike trail is probably never heard. Still, you can go to Cairo for a charity group bike ride.

Pink cycling

"I drive this way for the first time and it's very good. Only the cars are tiring. "Marat confides in a quieter one of the breaks. "I am married and have children. So to psychically react a little, I set off for something new. And the idea of supporting the fight against breast cancer is a very good opportunity. "

Marat is wearing a pink T-shirt with the campaign symbol just like other girls. October is the global month of fighting this disease. Gentlemen have yellow reflective vests.

One of the clubs is a cyclist, which organizes similar events throughout Cairo each weekend throughout Cairo. And the cycling community in Cairo is said to be growing up.

The President is an example

"After President Sísi showed up while riding a bicycle, the interest in cycling in Egypt increased a lot. And more so now that gasoline is still expensive. Many people have encouraged them to move on. We are changing the mentality of the Egyptians. "says Muhammad Hilmar.

Together with colleagues, he carries out a peloton while driving and helps those who are on the bike for the first time. There are young people in the group, but there is also Mr. Robbie, a high school mathematician, who has been excited about cycling. Similar events take place regularly.

"I'll be retiring in a moment, so I need to keep moving. The man does not get much. He is still moving through the means of transport. And the bike is both healthy and on the other hand it saves money for transport, "he said, adding that the bike gives him extra freedom of movement.

We turn left over several streets full of cars. It's not easy, it sounds like a tire, but it seems that we eventually survived without losing a single cyclist. And I think after this ride everyone would deserve a stay in the climatic spa.

The police carried out an experiment

A dark area, a police car with lights on, and in the distance an invisible group of children. This was the experiment prepared by police officers from the Suwalki road route.

Today, the police organized an experiment showing how people using reflective materials are visible and those who do not have such elements. The experiment was attended by children and youth after finished sport activities at Primary School No. 5.

Today we organize activities under the name "Reflective experiment." We want to show the invited sport group, as it actually looks pedestrian with reflections and without - informed asp.

During the experiment, in the dark region of Primary School No. 5, a police car with lights turned on was set, and two children were ahead of them in the distance, which despite the light from the car headlights was invisible. Their postures could be noticed when they approached a distance of about 30 meters.

Moments later, another two children entered the road with reflective tapes on their clothing. Although the reflective elements were small, they were visible from a distance - even from a distance of over 100 meters. Children who put on reflective vests were the most visible.

We want to encourage pedestrians to use reflective vests also in built-up areas, because, as we can see here, there are also less-lit places - said the police.

At the end, the policemen gave out reflective elements to everyone who enjoyed great interest. This shows that the police experiment has had the desired effect and the people observing it have seen how important the flares are for their safety.

Last year, Suwalki police reported 14 accidents involving pedestrians. As a result, two people died.

A man is fined for driving wheelchair on a road in Malaga

A court in Malaga has sentenced a man to pay a fine of 480 Euros for going with his wheelchair on the MA-21 road. At first, he was accused of crimes against road safety and disobedience to the authority, but finally he will only be sanctioned by the second.

The protagonist of the events is a 67-year-old man, with a disability greater than 70%, who is also supervised by a foundation for the care of the disabled under the curatorship regime. But nothing prevented him from taking a little walk on the road around the city of Malaga. So he wore a safety clothing went out with his wheelchair.

Deviation in the acceleration lane

The individual was driving the motorized wheelchair in the acceleration lane to access the Malaga motorway. However, before entering it, it was diverted to the MA-21.

The "vehicle", which reaches a maximum speed of 15 kilometers per hour, was recorded by a driver and uploaded to social networks, which made it vital in the area.

Accused of causing an accident

At first, the man was accused of the crime against traffic safety and was accused of having caused an accident between two vehicles, a fact that, later, was found to be untrue. In addition, defense lawyers argued that the law that regulated it was not applicable to the defendant since it was a pedestrian (as stated in the report of the DGT of the report) and did not exist in his action or serious risk (the chair motorized he wore a reflective vest with reflective material hung and the red rear and white front flashlights working) or idol.

The Prosecutor admitted the argument for appreciating repeating conduct and disobedience to the authority. Several videos and photos were found and the attitude of the man was "defiant" while the police interrogated witnesses of the facts - he wanted to get on the chair and continue the march.
