His name is Duncan Gay. Helps to know to whom you are
referring..


Don't like to use the word since it was stolen

for license and fluoro jacket with a number on the back.
They wish to sound a death Knell for cycling.
The cycle use would drop dramatically,There is not a hope in hades that
I would wear a fluoro jacket with a number, I would just never ride a
bicycle again.
Same with mandated clothing for my motorcycle I would just have to cease
riding.
They have already knobbled cycle use with mandated helmets (which some
think good) but bicycle use dropped when it was introduced, if they
mandate fluoro jackets with numbers on the back only the yuppy lycra
crowd would still cycle.

Why?

Same with mandated clothing for my motorcycle I would just have to
cease
riding.

So you don't wear a helmet when riding your motorcycle?

I do but It is not fluoro and it is a single item, totally different to
mandated clothing

They have already knobbled cycle use with mandated helmets (which some
think good) but bicycle use dropped when it was introduced,

If that's true it just shows how dumb most cyclists are.

if they
mandate fluoro jackets with numbers on the back only the yuppy lycra
crowd would still cycle.

Why?

It is just what would happen.
Just wait an see, (if they are stupid enough to mandate fluoro vests
with a number on the back.)



Why is it stupid?
Are seat belts in cars and helmets for motorcycles stupid?


You keep bringing in motor cycle helmets and seat belts which are a
different kettle of fish and I am not discussing them.


Sounds like your fear of compulsory safety items for cyclist is
irrational, many people complained about compulsory safety in cars and
helmets on motor bikes yet both are well proven life savers.

Cyclists have zero protection and are often difficult to see, better to
be seen than dead or seriously injured.
With a visible number cyclists could be identified when they break the
road rules, couldn't have cyclists obey the road now could we.


Most ordinary people look at these things like lights on, fluro clothing
etc because their mind thinks that it would fix things because it sounds
to them so sensible that it would fix things which is not necessarily
the case statistically


There aren't any statistics on the items in question because they are
not yet in common use.

There are studies about the lights on in the daytime

But I am having trouble finding any stats on hi viz that is not biased
by commercial interests.
There was a study on hi viz clothing for bicycles in England which found
that it did not change the vehicle bike clearances.

What rot

The cycle use would drop dramatically,There is not a hope in hades that
I would wear a fluoro jacket with a number, I would just never ride a

And why is that? Do you like the idea of being able to get away with any
accidental damage you may cause and not be caught?

Time will tell. Still, if every bike riding nutbag gave up in protest I
couldn't be happier

As a matter of fact I think that mr Gay used to live near me and I think
my brother pinched his mini before he was licensed And drove to the
beach.(They were mates)If he is the same Duncan gay.
My original "Duncan grey" was a brain fart the second post was Just a
silly answer for a silly poster.

On the motor cycle yes, on the bicycle under protest, the times and
places that I ride a bicycle statistically would have a 10 million to
one (deliberately exaggerated)chance of having any bearing on damage to
my head.If I fell off highly unlikely to damage, if a vehicle drove over
my head it would not help.
PS there are statistics on bicycle helmets relation to head trauma
figures and their efficacy.
