They, in turn, traffic police officers are encouraged to use reflective elements on the bike to be more visible to car drivers.

Denis is ready to move through the city streets on two wheels even in the dark. He and about forty cyclist’s city, this evening went to the street, accompanied by members of the Sevastopol State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. Bike ride along the city ring activists attract the attention of drivers.
Volunteers not only swept through the central city streets. They brought the box with plastic reflectors. Each participant of the action, the vehicle is not sufficiently evident in the dark, could correct the situation on the spot. Reflectors and reflectors can be purchased at any specialized shop. And they are inexpensive - about twenty rubles. Any comparison does not go with the price of a human life, if the driver does not notice the car in time on the road cyclist or pedestrian.
Vitally Borodin, Chief Inspector advocacy group the State Inspectorate for Road Traffic Safety of Sevastopol: "Designating himself on the roadway, bicyclists, and pedestrians (it is the most vulnerable category of road users), labeling you, provide them, to some extent, security. Since even at a crosswalk where there are violated rules of the road, the driver does not always see themselves pedestrians in the dark. "
By the way, on the roads of Sevastopol recently there are new reflective markings on unregulated pedestrian crossings. Perhaps it will not save a single life.
For many who have gathered here, cycling - not just entertainment. They use this transport every day. Experienced cyclists especially insist on the need to protect themselves reflective elements.
GERMAN cyclist: "I'm not the first ride. I myself had been in awkward situations of traffic, due to the fact that maybe I have not seen, possibly with a negligent attitude. And repeatedly I heard about this. That is why we are holding the bike ride and tie him to the reflective elements so that people understood that this is important, it is one of the basic rules for a cyclist - he was to be seen on the road. "
Employees of the Sevastopol State Inspectorate for Road Traffic Safety remind cyclists and the need to use when riding such remedies as a helmet and elbow pads.
