Comment | This is why fluorescent and reflective clothing, together with a helmet and lights, should be mandatory. It is all too easy for a driver not to see you fall off if it is dark, the windscreen is partially fogged from condensation and you are invisible in the dark or obscured by lights from other cars.
Cyclists are potentially seconds from death at any any moment but very few take the simple and cheap precautions that greatly put the odds in their favour. |
