The hustle and bustle of everyday life and the frantic pace are dictated by a urban mobility<\/b> which today has become a real problem. Smog and traffic, caused by too many cars and more, contribute to damaging our health.<\/p>\n

Our health must be safeguarded, as well as that of our planet. There is a solution, and moving without a motor means favouring the bicycle<\/b>. It must be emphasised, however, that the bicycle is a vehicle in its own right and there are some rules for cycling<\/b> which must be respected.<\/p>\n

Rules which, unfortunately, are more often than not underestimated as bicycles can be driven without a licence, unlike cars, lorries, mopeds, all of which require a licence. There could, however, be no greater mistake.<\/p>\n

The Highway Code<\/b>In fact, it lays down rules for cycling on public roads and, in this article, we will summarise them for you.<\/p>\n

The rules for cycling: how it should be equipped<\/h2>\n

Given the most important rules, from always know and respect<\/b>When cycling on the road, the aspect of equipment is equally relevant to one's own and others' safety. Let us look in detail at all those devices<\/b> which must never be missing on a bicycle and which are mandatory<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • First of all, let's start with the brakes<\/b>These must be fully functional and are located on the front and rear wheel. Before putting the bike 'in motion', it is a good idea to do a check and check that everything is OK.<\/li>\n
  • A bicycle can circulate without bell<\/b>? The answer is no! Indispensable for getting noticed in case of danger or warning of turning and passing.<\/li>\n
  • Very important is the issue of visual signals: the bicycle must be equipped with lights <\/b>of two different colours: the white, positioned at the front; the red, positioned at the back.<\/li>\n
  • On the wheels and pedals, however, the bikes must have the reflectors<\/b>small plastic plates that reflect when they meet the lights of other cars or street lamps. These devices serve to highlight the bicycle when there is night traffic.<\/li>\n
  • As mentioned above, children up to the age of 8 are allowed to be transported, seats on approved seats<\/strong>. To find out in detail what the construction characteristics of the seats should be, we refer you to theArticle 225 of the Implementing Regulation<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  • It is important to know that the type-approved seat must be equipped with a backrest, footrest, and a harness or shoulder straps that secure the child and, most importantly, must not be installed on unsuitable roof racks<\/a>. It is a frequent mistake, even by the dealers themselves, to attach child seats with a load capacity of up to 25 kg to roof racks whose capacity is limited to 7 kg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    An egregious error, the latter, that can put one's children's lives at risk, as can carelessness and disregard for the rules of cycling. A vehicle that must become the means of transport par excellence must be 'treated' with the utmost care and attention. The respect for the rules is essential <\/b>for cars, engines, trucks and even bicycles, nowadays no longer a second-rate vehicle but a vehicle, available in many different versions that you can find on our website<\/a>suitable to meet even the most inconvenient needs of citizens.<\/p>\n
