Blood on the streets

It is not said but there is a massive implication in what lots of cyclists say IMHO.

GOOD STUFF DELETED

I cannot prove any of this, because the only way to prove it would be to have people come on this thread and say 'I admit it - I think hi viz very sensible, but I look like a prat wearing it so I don't. It's down to cars to avoid me, it is not my job to help them do their job.'

I think that each of us make our own choices.

Me, I wear a helmet, but don't really expect it to do much good in a serious accident. I stop at red lights, though stop significantly in front of one on the way home, because I think it is safer (at Tally Ho in Finchley). I have a helmet and a bike covered in reflective tape, would get the tube rather than cycle with no lights, but don't wear hi viz. I pretty much always wear headphones.

Obviously I /could/ wear hi viz and not have headphones, but I personally don't think it woudl make a deal of difference.
