Experiment determines drivers do not see 22% of cyclists in clearview.
But I wonder whether they did actually see and register a higher
percentage than 78% of "cyclists in clear view", even though they may not have looked directly at them. http://www.roadsafetygb.org.uk/news/4374.html -- JS |

The one comment so far, by Duncan MacKillop, says "cyclists and motorcyclists have their own natural camouflage that prevents them from being perceived even in the best of circumstances and if something is camouflaged then it perceptually doesn't exist". It's an interesting observation. But I don't think that's so in a literal sense; many two-wheelers wear high-viz clothing. Still, MacKillop points the way. Not being perceived isn't a physical phenomenon, as "camouflaged" suggests, but a psychological block; the modifier of "camouflage", "natural" should carry the emphasis. I wouldn't be surprised if it is somehow linked to, perhaps an extension of, the widespread attitude that cycling is the "poverty choice". That would be a good hypothesis for an insurance company to investigate, probably dressed up a bit from my blunt statement for political acceptability. Congratulations to Direct Line Car Insurance on their initiative. Andre Jute Ride like you're invisible to motorists |

yeah take the lane.. Jute's psychology is firmly anchored in the http://goo.gl/pSlDVc century then ropes out into noblesso obligio . the perceived is all one...from the object's position...if you aren't thinking it you are not in facto seeing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noblesse_oblige when that serves your best interests, off corsa. |

What can you do with a zero-humour, literal clown like Franki-boy Krygowski?
Yo, moron, if you read what I write instead of what you wish, for your own perverse purposes, I should write, you would have discovered years ago, because I've often said so, here and elsewhere, that I am a conspicuous cyclist. Motorists notice me because I represent expensive damage to the panelwork of their cars, and everything about my bike and my riding style announces it clearly. If you had the brains that god gave the rear end of an earthworm, you would have noticed long, long ago that in riding style there is nothing to choose between us except that I very likely do it better, because I do most things better than a peasant like you, and I don't need to hide behind some formal "school" of riding as you do, but worked it out for myself from a little thought. Another worthwhile thread ruined by the mindless antagonism of those ignorant clowns Krygowski and Daniels.

I first mounted a small circle of dayglo orange on the reflector stand....The Sheriff's people said the 6" circle brought me into view from nowhere on a Blvd bike path to abt 1/4 mile plus. Several months (36+) later Walmart began dayglo ing ......heavy stuff. rubberized polyester. ......today we see...and so there are far fewer accidents today than would be otherwise. but some stuff doesn't change. coupla days ago slowly ran down a jersey rider riding into a no bike area before a flyover and turn under interchange. die or take the side walk.... I blew the airhorn and went on... I assume the rider 'took the lane' and traffic being fairly discrete didnah crush the baboon. forgive us for Jute, Frank, his endorphins and self esteam spearus in another continent ...for his protection. try to see him as entertaining....Sergeant Blimp of The Gold Fields.... |
