Cyclecraft: being seen
I can't fault the section on Being Seen that runs from page 36 to page 39 of _Cyclecraft: North American Edition_. It begins with a very useful distinction between conspicuity and perspicuity, and later remarks "Be careful, too, not to cause visual confusion by using too many different devices. Good perspicuity requires conveying simple, easy-to-decipher information about your presence; overdoing it may be counter productive." -- joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGESEW/ The above message is a Usenet post. |

I've noted before about blinking tailights, and to me, this does a nice job of articulating why, as a motorist, I don't like the blinking lights. To me, the problem with blinking lights is that while they're good at getting attention, they don't give any help allowing a motorist to gauge relative speed and distance. Smith |
