This is my view of it (i.e. that Dublin is the only place I've seen where cyclists are expected to be luminous, and therefore the problem) but I'm sure I was dismissed for it here. ho-humThe big bike helmet debate: 'You don’t make it safe by forcing cyclists to dress for urban warfare'
The helmet/high-vis argument again
drove by the scene yesterday evening a few hours after it happened. The truck was still there at that point and the road was still closed off. It's a dead straight, reasonably wide road. Dunno how the hell this could have happened. Grim.Cyclist dies following collision with truck - Independent.ie
that's the fourth cyclist killed in two weeks.
you can be guaranteed that the reaction from the RSA to the latest spike in deaths will be even more hi-vis.This is my view of it (i.e. that Dublin is the only place I've seen where cyclists are expected to be luminous, and therefore the problem) but I'm sure I was dismissed for it here. ho-hum
The proper response would be to insist on wider, demarcated bike lanes and educating drivers that roads are to be shared and that they're the only ones capable of killing people.you can be guaranteed that the reaction from the RSA to the latest spike in deaths will be even more hi-vis.
though to be fair to them, the head of the RSA warned the FF transport spokesman that 'we are not living in a police state' when he called for mandatory hi-vis for pedestrians.
i'm trying to figure out if that's an enormous frame or are the wheels relatively small?Anyway, got a new lad this week. Tokyobike CS. Super light, super fast, super white! I'm calling it Gerry McInerney. It'll dull up soon enough I reckon, but I'm just enjoying the lack of weight right now. It also matches my kitchen!
proper order.This morning a cyclist obviously thought the slip road wasn't wide enough to accommodate a bike and a car so decided to cycle in the middle of the road.
