Cyclists Wearing All Black And Riding Black Bikes


Recommended Posts

If its during daylight hours then a motorist should be able to see a cyclist no matter what they're wearing. If the motorist isn't looking then it doesn't matter what they're wearing or how many lights they've got on. If high viz worked then it'd mandated for all vehicles and drivers. This discussion is just about shifting responsibility away from the motorist.

I've never seen this either and I'm a driver, whether at peak time, early mornings (6am early), late evenings, I've never seen this. Cyclists I've seen always have had hi-vis, even the one that went through 3 sets of red lights going through Woodseats down into Heeley at 6:30am. Although that's just a particular idiot and not a general having a go at cyclists because as with drivers there are good and bad :)

I see three most mornings, all dressed in black, one well lit up, one with no back light  just reflectors on the pedals and  a front  light and one with lights front and back but she has mounted the rear light on the seat stem and put a massive great mudguard on that covers it and makes it impossible to see till you are about 10 feet behind her.
