Sorry to hear that Ed.

Sorry to see this Ed. You can't eradicate the danger totally and it's a personal choice what is acceptable risk. Condolences mates

Sad news Ed :(

I didn't know the poor sod personally, he was a friend of a friend. What the hell do you do when you come round a slight bend (as here - see pics in link) and a car pulls out. You can see he swerved, I guess it's a risk we all take.

Sorry to read this. Looks like a pointy, one of our lot directly?

A few of you have made a comment about getting a hi-vis to inspire confidence - I did just that and it helped me. I don't feel too silly wearing it, because it's sleeveless you actually end up looking a bit like a copper, especially if your jacket is black.

Mine incorporates the Hit-Air system too - an airbag system that activates by a pull cord (takes 20KG of force to activate, so not likely to go off if you forget to unclip). The canisters only cost £15 if you do set it off.

Here's a link...
