Count me in!

(This was a request for a public awareness campaign wasn't it?)

Don't worry, we'll start seeing public education like this with the governments plan for 2010 Safe As.

Oh, no wait. Speeding, young people and alcohol.....

Classic, but seriously to get noticed on the roads more, when on bikes I think being at the right place at the right time is important, like bike positioning when riding to ensure you are being seen.

And so the cager doesn't turn around and say 0oh I didn't see you coming at all. Plus wearing bright colourful gear helps as well. Like graphics helmet plus coloured/graphics gear which have reflectors on them.

But for some reason majority bikers like black gear plain old black which is harder to spot, I guess the average rider in NZ would be 40 plus hence the simple plain black gear is more popular here compared to Europe where bright gears are common. Enough

I'm not so sure about the 40+ thing. But black is cooler - thats for sure!
