  1. There's a sunny bright orange theme to my day.

    #hiviz #hivis

  2. Take that #HiViz evangelists.

    "there is no evidence that either colour [white or fluorescent yellow] is more or less visible or more likely to be involved in an accident"

    So wear what you bloody well like when you are out #cycling.

  3. CW: Profanity

    It was a dreary January day. Even my full high visibility gear for work couldn't cheer me up!

    It brings back memories of the #Viz #January #Januaryland fake advert (contains profanity).

    For those who are interested the van is a Volkswagen ID Buzz. It's an EV. Not that you lovely fedi people are like that but yes I spent a number of years considering whether EV's were ready for me as a business and no I don't need to hear the mostly false scaremongering about batteries.

    This vehicle has saved my business about £2000 in just 6 months and that figures in the slightly higher leasing costs.

    Plus it has a sub 8 second 0-60 😈

    Photo taken using my DJI Flip drone. It's like a flying tripod!

  4. I'm getting so much more confident with the DJI Neo drone.

    This was recorded using only on-drone controls and gestures.

    Yes I'm in full hi visibility workwear.

  5. Yesterday going back home by #motorcycle was... difficult. There was a very dense #fog. I could ride on the #highway, albeit at slow speeds, using the center line and the road side #reflectors to keep the bike on the road, but once left the highway I was completely lost! The smaller #country #roads here have no reflectors and no center/lateral lines, only a strip of tarmac in the nature. I saw literally NOTHING. I was a little scared. I went back and very slowly found my way back to the highway and then took that to #Florence and then to #Siena. This way I doubled the kilometers, but I could get home using almost only highways. It was a longer ride than expected, after a day of work at the office, and I was home at 2 AM, exhausted. Took this photo and got to bed.
    ...it was nice to ride my #bike after so much time, anyway!

  10. late-autumn gardening chores - no shenanigans, just proper geared up as weather and work require.

    maybe I should look for some gardening slave? 😅 (I love my garden, just not the chores it entails 🫣 )

  11. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Given we in Europe just switched the clocks from summertime to wintertime, here are some pics embracing the joy of having proper lighting on your cycle for #BeingSeen + wearing #HiViz clothes in the spirit of #VisionZero.

    One is even #Halloween themed, although this was unintentional. 😇

    (And no, this isn't #VictimBlaming 🙄, it's just common sense. Riding in black clothes w/o light in the night doesn't help anyone.)

  15. @ccferrie We'll see them if they turn up anyway. #HiViz

  16. Sensible letters on the need for pedestrians to be the ones to magically stop drivers hitting them (as recommended by an Irish Times article, sweet Jesus) - one pointing out that an FOI request reveas the RSA has *no figures* for its claim that hi-viz keeps pedestrians or others safe #HiViz #cyclist #walker irishtimes.com/opinion/letters

  17. Should have worn a #HighVisibility driving suit and paintwork. Thank the gods for dashcam, which might identify the storm that was "in collision with the car".

  18. @Pacers31Colts18: I like the #cycling #socks from #GripGrab as many of their socks are also available in #hiviz yellow: gripgrab.com/collections/socks

    I bought these in hi-viz yellow for summer rides: gripgrab.com/collections/socks

    For night rides, I have a bit warmer socks with a #reflective stripe: reflective.berlin/products/ref

    I though would have preferred a larger reflective section instead of a large rainbow. But the 🏳️‍🌈 is also a nice political statement. 😊

  19. A left turning car went straight for me crossing the street in the crosswalk with the walk light dressed like this. Thankfully the driver was going too fast to hit me #cville #safestreets #hiviz

  20. Heute ist wieder #CriticalMass in Bielefeld! 19 Uhr ab Kesselbrink.

    Ein Vorschlag: Da es ja jetzt abends schneller dunkel wird, haben sich Leute bei #Seebrücke Bielefeld überlegt, in Leuchtorange mitzuradeln. Die Farbe steht auch für Seenotrettung und für sichere Häfen. #HiViz!
