Safely through fall and winter: Make yourself visible!

Prevent the increased risk of accidents in the winter months, recommends the Auto- und Reiseclub Deutschland (ARCD): Bright clothing should be a matter of course. However, reflective strips on clothing or arms and legs increase safety.

Adequate lighting on the bike is particularly important in the fall/winter season.

Good lighting is particularly important on bicycles

Of course, this also applies to cyclists. Reflective strips on the front and back of the body are particularly effective.

Walkers can also be easily made suitable for the dark season by fitting them with reflectors. Unfortunately, many walkers are still equipped without any reflectors at all.

Safety for dogs & co.

Dogs can be fitted with a chest harness or collar with reflectors or a flashing collar or dog lead.
