Good ad.... lets hope this does something. Far too many close calls recently.

It won't make a big difference as most car drivers are self centered and regard other forms of traffic as a pain in the arse, besides most car drivers have a 360
degree blind spot . i avoid riding on main roads these days unless it's on my motorbike and even then the buggers don't see me or anything smaller than a Kenworth. Eye-wink

Get a Harley and wear a matte black helmet. They may not see you, but they WILL hear you. Eye-wink

I nearly got cleanded up this afternoon on my H0onda down at Stanwell Park this afternoon by someone coming out of a side street . Inspite of having my lights on and doing 50 kmh in a 60 kmh zone she obviously didn't see me . Chalk another one up for the all encompassing 360 degree blind spot . If she didn't see me then a bicycle is invisable. Sticking out tongue
