the issue is not whether or not people choose to 'keep themselves safe', until it becomes law the entire argument one way or the other is moot.
The problem arises when the debate surrounding cycle safety centers entirely on these unproven safety measures to the detriment of the very fucking REAL issue of poor road design and criminal lack of infrastructure. To be honest, everytime one of you lot start yapping at each others throats because someone else doesn't or does wear a fucking hi viz vest / helmet / headphones / picks their nose while riding, you push the debate further and further down that rabbit hole, which is precisely what venal cunts like b.johnson want you to do, that way it stops people asking the right (or in his case, wrong) questions.
