1 The helmet must have a reflective strip or a
light in a clearly visible colour.
2 Cycle clothing is essential at all times of year.
Clothing should be retroreflective or as light as
possible. Fluorescent materials are also
suitable. High-visibility jackets and straps on
your upper body ensure even greater safety.
Never wear a skirt. Always wear trousers which
reach down to your ankles instead.
3 The large red reflector with a "Z" registration
mark and the red rear light must be clean. The
rear light is attached high enough so that cars
can see it (minimum height 25 cm). The rear
light must work.
4 The two reflectors on the two non-slip
pedals must be clean.
5 The yellow spoke reflectors on both wheel or
the white, fluorescent surface on both
wheels must be clean.
6 The white front light must work and must be
positioned so that it does not dazzle other road
users. The white front light and the white
reflector must be clean at all times.
