Bike to work safely

From September 16 to 22, the European Mobility Week 2020 is being held, , a campaign aimed at raising awareness about the negative consequences of irrational car use in the city, both for public health and the environment and also to highlight the benefits of using more sustainable modes of transport such as public transport, travel on foot and the bicycle, and precisely on the bicycle we want to focus on this news.

In the current context of a health emergency, more and more people are choosing to ride a bicycle to go to work and it is very important to convey a message that their safety must be taken care of, since cyclists are vulnerable users and therefore the use of protective equipment and good road safety education is vital to reduce the number of accidents in which cyclists are involved. 

In addition, as a complement to the message of prioritizing safety, the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) presented the video titled By bicycle, your return to normality will go smoothly in, which they wanted to remember that there are all advantages if you use the bicycle when you return to work because you improve your health, you contribute to sustainable mobility and it will help you maintain social distance.

Fraternidad-Muprespa has the objective of raising awareness among our mutual members about the importance of road safety to reduce work accidents and improve their accident rate. We also have numerous informative material related to this topic such as our infographic Road safety for cyclists that we encourage you to consult and that you can download to consult whenever you want.
