sjwilliams Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I hope this takes off. I really get quite panicky seeing a cyclist without a helmet or hi-vis clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiggs Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Safe cycling is to do with road positioning, understanding the roads, the rules of the road, communicating your intent and learning to anticipate situations. Sod all to do with a bit of polystyrene and yellow clothing that inhibits visibility under certain lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERDREAM Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Safe cycling is to do with road positioning, understanding the roads, the rules of the road, communicating your intent and learning to anticipate situations. Sod all to do with a bit of polystyrene and yellow clothing that inhibits visibility under certain lighting The cyclist, passing a pedestrian crossing, runs into a man, and they both fall down. -"Jeepers man, are you lucky." The cyclist says. -"What do you mean by lucky? " The pedestrian angrily asks. "I got hurt really bad." -"Ah, you're lucky because I recently lost my licence. I usually drive a bus.":hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
