If your road safety campaign doesn’t follow this basic rule, you don’t really care about road safety that much.

The giant protective hand is a good start, but there are much better ideas in these videos.
As I wrote in my LeJOG
As I wrote in my LeJOG journal:
The next stretch of road, the A836 from Thurso to Castletown was by far the worst, busiest stretch of road on the whole trip. I would not do that again. There aren’t a lot of other road choices, and maybe being a Friday afternoon made it worse, but I’d add twenty miles if I needed to just to avoid it. No shoulder, and a constant stream of caravans.

Odd, it seems adequately posted.
That would be useful if I
That would be useful if I regularly used a trainer or a power meter, and I do neither.
Answering my own question now 🙂Apparently there are two FTP Ramp tests on Zwift, and the ‘Lite’ version caps out at 250w (60sec), so is only intended for very light or beginner cyclists.
If your FTP is >200, you’ll need to do the ‘proper’ test to get a meaningful result.
This is correct. I should have done the non-lite version, but I didn’t think my FTP would be over 200.

I don’t have a power meter on
I don’t have a power meter on any of my bikes, and Strava’s estimates don’t correlate at all with my heart rate or perceived effort.
Looks like I’m right around
Looks like I’m right around the top of the bell curve, meaning average, for men 50-60 years old, or even 40-50, based on the numbers from Trainer Road.
That curve will skew high, because it will be a self-selected group of cyclists “serious” enough to use Trainer Road.
I wouldn’t mind doing it once
I wouldn’t mind doing it once a year, as long as I can go home and shower afterwards.

Bad crash near me, five
Bad crash near me, five hospitalised after three vehicle crash.
That looks like a lot of damage for a posted 30 MPH road! The grey bricks on the right side of the photo are a bike lane which is in no way protected from this crap. I use it occasionally, and have a couple of friends who use it nearly every day.
It sunk relative to the roadway after construction, so there’s a lip on the side now which had made me crash once. A friend crashed on it and had a massive lump around his eye despite wearing a helmet.
