Using the bicycle at night is much more dangerous than in the daytime, as it is
more difficult to see a cyclist for drivers and pedestrians. Cyclists have to be aware
of the risk they run while going out at dawn, dusk or at night, and have to pay more
attention when pedalling and should use specific equipment which helps them
reduce these risks. Contact a professional bike dealer for any information on night
security devices.
Bicycle reflectors are designed to reflect cars' and streets' lights, in order
to make the driver visible and identifiable as moving cyclists.
Please regularly check the reflectors and mounting brackets, to make
sure they are clean, straight, intact and mounted in a safe way. Replace
damaged reflectors and take action to straighten or tighten them if they
are bent or loose. If available, do not remove the front/rear reflectors or
the brackets, as they are a integral part of your bicycle' s safety system: if
removed, you will be less visible to other road users. Being hit by other
vehicles can cause serious injury or loss of life.
The reflectors cannot replace the lights provided by the regulations.
The use the bicycle at dawn, at dusk, at night or in any other moment of poor visi-
bility, without an appropriate lighting system and without reflectors, is dangerous
and can cause serious injury or loss of life.
