There recently was a post on that other place with a study that showed, stuff like hig-vis was having an effect to dehumanize bicyclists. So you are not just imagining it.
Here is an article about that.
Yeah, I can attest that the drivers are much nicer to me when I’m commuting to my University in normal clothes rather than wearing hi viz stuff.
It’s definitely true, but I still wear it when the weather is crap or it’s dark. I’d rather be seen and honked at than missed entirely
You mean waving an orange flag while crossing a six-lane stroad won’t solve the issue?
I wonder if in some weird way, this is why there are no railings in Star Wars. 🤔
The empire’s engineer’s saw people falling over the railings and attributed the hazard to the railing, so they eliminated the railing thus removing the hazard.
Ban all cars
The substitution needs to be equivalent, not worse.
