• Just seen this. Heal fast @Velocio.

    My brother was targeted by a hit and run back in January. He is certain it was because a) he is a cyclist, and b) of the floro colours he was wearing and the number of lights on his bike. Stupid really, you do this sort of thing for safety, then people do it to "give us a lesson".

  • the floro colours he was wearing and the number of lights on his bike. Stupid really, you do this sort of thing for safety

    A general point about getting seen. Conspicuity with more lights and flouro is not the answer, but commonly construed as such by 'cyclists'. And used as a stick to beat cyclists with by drivers who think the rider isn't making enough effort with such artifacts.

    It's perspicuity that is key. Achieved by road position and communication...

    ...cycle training anyone?

  • All of which is entirely negated by drivers just not bothering to look
    I totally agree with you, but find it depressing that no matter how hi viz you are, or how assertive, all it takes is someone deciding that their phone is more important than looking ahead
