I mentioned in a comment elsewhere on this blog that I was accused of cycling too fast when I crashed into a woman who walked out into the road without looking. It’s pretty infuriating. Pedestrians and motorists alike always seem to be against cyclists.

As for visibility, I always use lights and have a reflective strip across my backpack. I’m toying with the idea of getting lights for my helmet too.

I am always fascinated reading this debate, cyclist/motorists, yes I’m like a Christmas tree too. wearing a Yellow Hi Vis coat with reflecting strips, one light on the front but two red rear lights and another on my helmet. If I thought using a stereo would work I’d use that too, but someone would accuse me of not being able to hear traffic ……I wear hearing aids and sometimes the wind passing the microphones causes so much noise I cant always hear traffic to I have to anticipate as much as I can…….I’m just waiting for people hard of hearing to be stopped cycling because motorists can’t drive and pay attention.

Great article. I think all cyclists should now have a stero that is blasting out Beatles songs.

As far as I can see, your apostrophes are in the right place.

I think the answer is to get helmet cameras and record every journey, reporting dangerous drivers to the police.

I got rammed in a road-rage incident recently which led to an interesting discussion on my blog. http://brackenworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/insurance-job.html
