I was dressed exactly like this when I was run over in Moycullen in broad daylight. The factors that most strongly influence cyclist safety are driver speed, enforcement levels, road layout, and safe cycling infrastructure, not what we are wearing. A 🧵
👀 Can you see me now? The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists. #CanYouSeeMeNow #KeepingPeopleSafe

"I want cyclists banned from existing roads to protect drivers" Meanwhile, the trained and licensed drivers that apparently need protecting:
@al_eye_am @but_cyclists I want cyclists banned from existing roads to protect them and to protect drivers. I’m open to separate cycling infrastructure under the conditions I outlined. These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

@benonwine Having witnessed and been stuck behind double cyclists a lot I think they are to blame. It’s pretty selfish expecting cars to sit behind you going under the speed limit because they want to give their Lycra a stretch on a Sunday morning. If they feel that unsafe they have to ride

Still find it absurd that we allow huge SUV's on the road yet e-scooters are illegal
Stopped & given friendly advice not to ride these as illegal. Advised to walk. Owner knew better & got back on to ride off. Stopped again. Turns out disqual driver. #seized and reported for no insurance & disqual drive. Please don't buy these for use on public roads. #opsbikes

Walking along a narrow pavement in @hackneycouncil yesterday I saw this👇. Not only was it taking up about half the pavement but I’m am very frightened at the thought of these machines sharing a pavement with pedestrians. What makes this a bicycle? @VincentStops @hackneycitizen

Woman given suspended sentence over cyclist's death https://t.co/PnzJnudYjL via @rte The usual judge with his usual skewed view on dangerous driving and sentencing. The driver should be banned for life.

A woman whose husband was killed whilst out for a Sunday cycle on the Malahide Road in Dublin last year, has said no words can ever change how brutal it has been since she lost him.

A short thread of motorists driving on pavements - something that apparently never happens 👇

Lucy Atkins (20) died after being hit by a car on the New Road (West Boulevard) Quinton, Birmingham on 24 June last year. The family dog Simba was also killed. Danielle Mitten (34) had been driving at up to 82mph before the crash and collided with Lucy at 63mph.

@billy_btm Awful- cyclists should be banned from roads. The human brain cannot see tiny objects (cycles) when looking for large objects (cars). Cars are economically far more important than bicycles. The poor driver and poor cyclist here will both be deeply affected. #banbicyclesnow
