"Be Safe, Be Seen"

School traffic wardens have reported [130 incidents since January 2024, including] being struck by vehicles, spat at, sworn at and having to dodge speeding drivers, while at work.

Ok one more for my hi viz hotties

I have three of these bags, if they sell I’ll make more for Fluff

Hudson St behind the Armory, 12-6p, Saturday August 8

Ok but seriously, check this shit out. Rep your town and your favorite sandwich topping at the same time WHILE ALSO BEING HI-VIZ and carrying a ton of stuff. I have six of the Marshmallow Fluff bags and three of the Somerville bags; I'll have more at Fluff Festival in September but you can beat the rush :)

Once everything is quilted, it’s time to cut things out! I traced the pattern pieces onto the quilts and then stitched just inside the marked lines. This has the dual effect of 1) making sure I’m cutting the right lines and 2) helping prevent fraying and making things easier to handle when cut. It also compresses the quilt sandwich at the edge for greater precision.

Then cut things out and start assembling! I batched up all the independent pieces (eg, sew the hood together, sew the long sleeve seams, sew the shoulder seams) and then had to take a break to hand-finish the seam bindings on all of them. The pattern called for a single fold bound seam which I cleverly (lol no) cut out of the same flannel I used for the lining. This made the seams extra bulky. I stitched the two seam allowances together by machine and trimmed the far one down to about 1/8”, then stitched another line along the near one (again squishing down the quilt sandwich) and trimmed it to 1/4”, then folded the binding edge over the flannel at 1/2” and sewed it down by hand. So the seams wound up being not too bulky but a bit stiff. In hindsight I probably should have sewn the 1/4” allowance and the 1/8” allowance separately, which would have made it more flexible.

One of the things I like to do to insert some randomness into my sewing is to use small tokens or coins to determine placements. In this case I sprinkled sewing clips over the pre-drawn radial lines, made some manual adjustments, and then marked the clip positioning to turn them into stars.

I then stitched around the edges to minimize fraying and tossed all the pieces in the washer and dryer to shrink and wrinkle. A bit of pressing afterwards flattens them back out but still gives it a homey rumpled look.

I’m *delighted* by how the thread is looking. Hell yes.

Ok but what about Mario mushrooms? With pockets?

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.

@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.)

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

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 https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/2023/11/07/road-safety-and-responsibility/

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".

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

I bought these in hi-viz yellow for summer rides: https://www.gripgrab.com/collections/socks/products/airflow-lightweight-short-summer-socks

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

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

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

Far be it from me to say "were you wearing hi-viz", but wouldn't yellow fluorescent strips on the inside part slanting down that the drivers hit help?
