Fiamma bike rack reflector board in France?

Post by richyrich »

Off to la belle France in a few weeks. Was wondering if anybody knew whether the red/white bike rack hazard board is mandatory yet in France?

My understanding was it was only so in Italy (curious how Fiamma happen to be an Italian company) and that other countries (inc France) had not made them mandatory. Just trying to check if that's still the case

It wasn't ... only in Italy. Probably only a matter of time though and they won't get any cheaper.

There a very good idea as they make vehicles travelling behind you aware of the extra bit sticking out the back :ok

We're heading off the end of the week and will be putting one on the van. If it helps stop someone running into the back the van then its £7 well spent.
