... are sick of drivers nearly running us off the road!!!
After a dump-truck passed me on a hill yesterday, and it's trailer came within inches of taking-me-out, I spent pretty much the rest of my ride thinking of ways I could get the message across that it's the law that motorists give a cyclist at least 3 feet of room when passing (At least that's the law here in Wisconsin.)
Every time I ride, I get idiot motorists who pass me at the top of hills, around blind turns, and just about any where else they pass that will jeopardize both of our lives I'm not a slow rider either... I usually average over 20 mph (except on big hills, of course )
So, I came-up with this quick jersey design that I *think* could help!???!!
(Apparently this forum doesn't allow pics?)
What do you think? I know it's not pretty, but on my training rides by myself, my main concern is just coming back alive, not looking pretty!
Although I'm almost sure motorists don't read cyclist jerseys before they cut them off, I think the lettering on this jersey is bold enough that you almost can't - not see it!
