Wearing a hoodie that said "DEAF" on the back in capitals

I don't know how many deaf people cycle...

you're the only one I know of (and my ex GF, except she was only partially deaf and only partially a cyclist)

would it also be a good thing if this became standardized, and driver got used to seeing the sign? that would also mean they would potentially be looking at all cyclists by then..

or is it just a "baby on board" sticker, are you just asking for the same amount of consideration from drivers that is mandatory to all cyclists, yet ignored?

Anyhow, I think it's essentially a good idea, cos you can't hear a horn or an engine, and the highway code states that a horn is used to warn other road users of your presence.

Naturally you´re right, especially on the standardisation of the symbol and drivers end up being more aware of this, however as you´ve said you don´t know many deaf people, in England there is only 108,000 severally/profoundly deaf people (including myself) between the age of 16 to 60, but there are 2,366,000 mildly deaf people (as in almost able to hear and listen without hearing aids).

I can´t find the number of deaf people living in London, but seeing that London is the captial of the UK, I says there is about 5,000 deaf people* base on my rough calculation, and thus, there should be roughly 150-200 deaf cyclists*, maybe less because we get free travels in London (freedom pass), I have one, but I want to cycle.

but here´s the thing, deaf people get freedom pass, thus limiting the number of deaf cyclists in London, for all I could know, I might be the only one cause I met a lots of deaf people and I´m still the only one cycling, well, beside him;

what about something like this Ed?

Wayne, that´s brilliant, I´m afraid the symbol might be too small and unnoticable when you´re sprinting down the Pentonville Road for instance, but the whole thing is pretty much what I want printed on the Archie´s Grobag once I finally get it next year.

*base on the severally/profoundly deaf population of the UK
**base on a simple calculation of 8,000,000 Londoners and 480,000 of them is a cyclist.
