Randonneur Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yes it is advisable to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 As far as I am aware it is only compulsory in Italy, but having said that we always use ours when travelling with bikes, as it gives everyone a little bit more warning and costs nothing more than a minute of your time.

Big Momma Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Rapido-lass - 2009-06-10 8:28 AM As far as I am aware it is only compulsory in Italy, but having said that we always use ours when travelling with bikes, as it gives everyone a little bit more warning and costs nothing more than a minute of your time. As above, we carry 2 bikes and always have the red/white warning board attached. There are a number of different ones available, we have the one that is reflective so that it shines up in the dark in vehicles headlghts, just an extra bit of safety and they are no hassle to fit.
