Questions For Cyclists
1. Why is it that so many cyclists (including so-called 'professionals')
refuse to wear fluoro clothing when cycling? There is available a huge range at very reasonable prices. This aspect of cycling, especially on roads, gives important consideration to other road users. More importantly, it is more about cyclist safety and not to sound overly dramatic, self-preservation.
2. Why is it that so many cyclists (including so-called 'professionals') insist on riding on the road when there is a perfectly adequate cycleway or cycle track alongside?
In these instances, it is not surprising that many motorists are anti-cyclists!
3. Why is it that so many cyclists refuse to have a bell fitted to their bike. These are small in size, small in cost and very effective.
Once again consideration for others especially when coming up behind other cyclists or pedestrians on shared pathways.
It is hard to accept that having such an item fitted results in appreciable wind resistance or any other lame excuse!
I have often witnessed cyclists on main highways wearing black or grey clothing which 'beggars belief' if they are at all concerned about their own safety!
Yes, I am a regular cyclist on cycleways whenever available.
Yes, I do wear fluoro clothing (of varying sorts) and yes, I do have a bell!
