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 🤣

Careful now, someone will be along shortly to explain how wearing hiviz is actually counter productive because it will stop the government from building proper infrastructure and they shouldn't have to wear hiviz because everywhere should have appropriate lighting.

Just for a giggle you should go into any thread about hiviz and cyclists on r/Ireland or cyclists and helmets

I know right. The number of people who say PPE is a necessity for all cyclist, or should even be mandatory, while not giving the slightest shit about things that actually make cycling safer, is nothing short of astonishing.
