Safety with Visibility - Tips for Cycling in the Fall - Germany's Cyclist Safety: Prioritize Reflective Gear and Lights
Cyclists in Germany must prioritise safety, especially during shorter days. Reflective vests and LED lights are crucial, but buyers should ensure they meet specific standards.
In Germany, reflective vests for cyclists must comply with the EN 17353 standard for sufficient reflection and visibility. Many products fail this standard, so buyers must verify certification before purchasing.
Bikes without built-in lighting require approved battery-powered LED lights that do not dazzle other road users. Cyclists should ensure their bikes have functioning front and rear LED lights, along with front and rear reflectors.
Reflective clothing and vests can significantly enhance safety for cyclists during the dark season. However, not all reflective vests meet the required standards, so cyclists should check for EN 17353 certification. Reflective leg warmers or LED bands for arms and ankles can also improve visibility.
Cyclists' safety in Germany relies on proper equipment. Reflective vests and LED lights are essential, but buyers must ensure they meet the necessary standards. This can significantly reduce the risk of accidents, especially during shorter days and darker hours.
