Cyclists please wear neon colors
To the cyclist who fly down hills and cut turns quick in neighborhoods, I’m very concerned. Your mother is very concerned.
Please be mindful not all drivers are sinister. Some drivers are parents and get < less 5 hours of sleep.
So before you are pumped full of endorphins, the wind is in your face, pick up a neon bright jacket so your soft grey shirt, black pants and dark colored bike doesn’t just blend in with the pavement, the shaded house, etc.
Also, do any local politicians on here - please ban any sort of e-bikes on sidewalks. Am I a millennial curmudgeon, or does anyone else see the inherent risk of driving a 50 pound plus bike with the ability to go 0-35 in 2 seconds a safety concern to those walking?
