Effectiveness of hi-vis in car traffic

Separated bike lane is the only way. Anything else is knowingly getting bikers killed.

I drive a motorcycle regularly. I make it a habit to check where people ahead of me are looking (by looking into their side mirrors) so I can predict whether they'll merge into me.

About 1/3 of drivers are on their phones, not looking at the road at any given time

Seeing a cyclist in hi-vis is enough for a driver to downgrade their phone to iOS 9

Anytime I'm cycling I make sure I know where every car is and never let any vehicle sneak up on me, because I expect car drivers to be distracted and oblivious to most laws of the road. Because of this I've not had any close calls yet

Using light mode on your phone prevents getting blinded by hi-vis tech. Or by flashbang/stun grenades. Or by nukes.

I don't have an iPhone what's blue vs green?

High vis is always a good idea, especially at night. There's a reason utility and road workers wear it, after all

I've had a few times in a few metropolitan areas where I had no car, and commuted 15+ miles of urban riding a day.

Both times started super conservative with my riding. By the end of was blowing lights and stop signs, had a whistle necklace, carried pepper spray, and was happier than I had ever been in traffic in a car.

This comm should be named „Fuck idiots”

Yall don’t have a problem with cars but with morons behind the wheel

Locking due to too many people raging and inciting violence against people riding bikes.

As some asshat in a reflective vest and a strobe light on his forehead blows a stop sign.

I'll get downvoted and told I'm an idiot and whatever else, but I just ride on the sidewalk and it takes all the issues away. It's a million times better to me, and when I'm in a car I fucking hate cyclists in the road. You guys can keep putting your lives on the line if that's what makes you feel good, I guess.

Is there a fuck cyclists sub?

Edit: lol triggered much?
