Awesome video of the bikes. Looks really spectacular to see three lane motorways packed solid with bikes. Great to see the effect of 'big' numbers of riders can have.

I see the french minister of transport is back pedalling somewhat. He now says he meant riders should have just one reflecterised ARMBAND, not the whole jacket. As if thats going to make riders more visible.

I wear a Hi Viz vest and it does not stop motorists from pulling out in front of me at roundabouts etc. If they are looking with closed eyes, they will never see what's there regardless.

I followed an ambulance on the Welly motorway yesterday and lots of cars didn't notice that with siren,flashing lights etc so what chance have we got?

The French certainly know how to make their government aware they're not happy.

In Italy,France and Spain quite often trivial laws are just ignored since the police can't be bothered with all the triviality - can't think why!

I like the website French Angry Bikers - they cetainly know how to protest.
