No Choice But To Pedal: Wear Your Reflective Gear!

Wear Your Reflective Gear!

See the runner in the picture above? Neither do I, but that's what he looked like when he came running from the front this morning. Not only invisible in his all black outfit, but also running with his back to the traffic.

I can't believe we still have fools like this out on the road.

Wear your reflective gear!!!

Char said...: I've seen a lot of cyclists who could almost be twins to your runner. Idiots that wear all black and don't have a light. And they're on the road with cars!; 11 July 2013 at 23:28
