Helmet and Reflective Elements — Main Recommendations for Cyclists from the Police
The Patrol Police of the Odessa region provided several recommendations for cyclists regarding safe riding.
Among them:
- Before each trip, check the bicycle's condition, especially the brakes, handlebars, tires, and reflective elements.
- Use a protective helmet. It significantly reduces the risk of serious injuries in case of a fall or traffic accident.
- During dark hours and in conditions of poor visibility, use front white and rear red lights, and also wear reflective elements.
- Follow traffic rules: ride in designated areas, obey traffic signs, traffic lights, and road markings.
- Signal your intention to change direction in advance so that other road users can anticipate your actions.
- Be attentive near intersections, pedestrian crossings, and exits from adjacent territories.
- Avoid using mobile phones and headphones while riding, as they distract attention from the road situation.
