Cycle campaigning

more 'pro tipz' from ill informed NGO. Shit typography makes it worse. who pays for this shit?

Yup, mostly bullshit:

• Always single file? Nope, riding side by side just makes you the width of a car and halves the length of the group. The only safety issue here is impatient drivers overtaking dangerously.
  
• Helmets? Should hardly be necessary for pootling down the shops.
  
• Hand signals? Are there different hand signals for turning and overtaking? Most drivers don't understand hand signals other than left and right arm extended so what purpose would it serve.
  
• Brightly coloured clothing? Fuck off. Normal clothing is not a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak.
  
  

The points about lights, maintaining your bike and stopping at red lights are all fair enough, but hardly worth a poster. So is the point about using the cycle path although it contradicts guidance to the police about how to treat cyclists using the pavement carefully when they need to. The bit about listening to music and mobile phones is contentious at best, but given how it's enforced with regard to drivers it seems pretty officious.
