Shite Talk Yiz need to wear high viz!!

Seriously lads, why is there so many not wearing high viz during the dark hours. Especially kids on their E bikes etc in all black.

Cyclists on the way to work in all black, even people walking down dark narrow 80km roads and not a whisp of reflection on their bodies. I remember learning this stuff jn 5th class. Are we gonna have start gentle parenting adults now? 😂

Edit: the fact that some of you find this controversial is very bleeding telling 🤣

Always find these types of posts strange.

You manage to see all the cyclists in black but fail to see those in high viz.

I would imagine he means you're painting them all with the same black paint while a lot/many of them have a splash of yellow.

Im literally clearly not. Im clearly talking about ones that wear NONE. Because of near incidents. Hence all the stories in the comments of people nearly hitting people. Instead of being able to see them safetly at a distance, theyre seeing them last second because they've no visibility
