"there is no evidence that either colour [white or fluorescent yellow] is more or less visible or more likely to be involved in an accident"
So wear what you bloody well like when you are out #cycling.

They are transferring responsibility so they can be irresponsible.
If only the helmet and hiviz evangelists drove with the same concern as they do for what they demand others wear

The arrogance of people who tell others what clothes and headgear they should wear doing daily things like cycling to the shop is unreal.
And none of them willing to wear high-vis or helmets in their cars "if it saves one life".
Anything, but safer streets, and enforcement of existing laws.

I’m sorry. I’ve been lucky but nearly every ride to work or back I have one close call that is dependent on my awareness to save myself even if I’m wearing hiviz and lights everywhere. It’s amazing how much safe I am when the bike lanes looks like this

For those going to the Victorian Pride street party today., if at a later date you ask if I was there, I will answer with this question, Did you see the guy in the "HiViz Tradie" outfit?

No guarantees.
Riding, even in hiviz, could kill you
But sitting on the couch instead WILL kill you.
Education for drivers and having cyclists be a regular part of their traffic pattern is all we can do.

Changing culture also takes a lot of time, education, infrastructure and legislation. In the meantime, would you prefer to have children cycling with or without helmets and hiviz?

Italy introduced it, didn't work.
New Zealand studied years of crash data, hiviz wearers were hit at similar rates as non.
It's nothing but victim blaming nonsense to absolve drivers of their duty of care and to deflect from the lack of government investment in safe infrastructure

A knee jerk reaction from a knee jerk government. This has exactly nothing to do with scramblers which are already illegal on Irish roads.
Or are they trying to imply that Grace Lynch is at fault for not wearing hiviz when killed by a driver?

Seemingly, although I'm struggling to work out the logic that will mandate helmets and hiviz for cyclists following an incident where a teenager on a scrambler bike killed a pedestrian.
I really do not understand it.

I was wearing helmet and hiviz when another parent at son's school slammed open his van door while I passed and knocked me into traffic. Said that the van had been made with a "blind spot".
I was wearing hi vis when a motorist drove into me. Passengers in the car got out to tell me the driver was really upset because she didn't see me. I didn't have much sympathy as I was picking gravel out of my hands.
I was visible. She didn't look.

The hi viz will work great when I'm hit by a motorist looking at their phone.

Mandatory helmets and hiviz... The first sign of total lack of comprehension of the issues.
Seems it's an international problem...
