... in Copenhagen. Not sure it's effective, but I applaud the initiative to show some appreciation of cyclists. Can't really imagine it in Blighty.

They gave them out free at the london skyride. 65,000 people turned up.

I can't imagine many Copenhagen cyclists wearing Hi Viz. Not the ones you see on [url= http://www.copenhagenize.com/ ]Copenhagenize[/url] anyway.

Just adds to the sense that cycling is a dangerous activity, for which you need to wear strange clothes.

brighton council are giving a choice of a pack of high vis clothing, a set of lights or a d-lock if you do a travel diary for a week.

I took the d-lock - I checked afterwards and halfords down the road are doign the same one for £45 🙂

Old farts like me do. Beautiful girls do not. Seems fair enough 🙂
