Not prepared to respond to the substantive points made in a clear manner then.

I have had comments that my retro-reflective ankle bands are the most visible part of me – presumably because of the constant movement that the eye is drawn too.
I also have different rear light patterns which I hope also draws a motorist’s eye. Incidentally, I think this is why escooters are more vulnerable because there is so little movement that would indicate to a driver that something is ahead.
I’ll also throw in those ridiculous 100,000 lumen headlights coming the otherway completely obscure any cyclist or pedestrian.

You can reduce the risk
You can reduce the risk further by not cycling or banning cars or improving infrastructure.
Why are you going straight to the bottom of the hierarchy of risk control pyramid ?
Not sure what a non-sporting cyclist is. I’d have thought they were more likely to have reflectors on pedals, handlebars, rear, wheels unlike ‘sporting’ cyclists plus a lot of ‘normal’ coats have some form of small reflectives on them.

Got one of those a couple of weeks ago after you mentioned it. Handy when someone is really close behind.

Succumbed to an ebike 11
Succumbed to an ebike 11 speed 11-42, 46F. Was great getting home against a massive headwind.
The dry tech fenders are a great shape and I’m surprised they don’t come as part of the build.
The insurance company asked me how fast does it go – ‘well, I have done just over 30 on it, but it really depends how fast you pedal and whether it is downhill’
They insist I lock to something in the garage, so a hiplock ankr is due today.
Also just had to buy a new roof carrier as I suddenly realised the current would not fit around the wide down tube !

Looking at the photo and thinking about litter picks I have been on, the person would have been wearing hi viz.
“The spokesperson added that due to Covid-19 restrictions the council was currently unable to loan equipment to support litter-picking activities.”
All they have to do is leave the pickers outside for 72+ hours and tell people to wear gloves.
