Let alone the Chairperson of Lincoln Bicycle Safety!?  If it weren’t Ginger this am, maybe a child!

They are lightweight and cheap and they really help drivers see us. Dark clothing, esp at dusk or in mottled shade, makes us disappear. ------ Sara Mattes On Aug 31, 2023, at 12:47 PM, Lynne Smith <ly...@smith.net> wrote: Fascinating article! As a helmet and goggle wearing cyclist, I’m now going to be extra careful since some drivers might not recognize me as human!

I actually was hit by the school van in the interaction although I stayed upright and am not hurt. Thanks for reaching out and I’d love a witness statement. To the rest of LincolnTalk, I write this as a reply-all because people on bikes are sometimes viewed as “less human” or seen as being “not from Lincoln” (which shouldn’t matter), and I hope that attaching my name to Julianne’s story might help to counteract both of those impressions. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369847823001018 Ginger  On Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 8:59 AM jsug--- via Lincoln <lincoln@lincolntalk.org> wrote: Hi There, If you are the cyclist who was nearly hit by the school van on Lincoln Road this morning just before 8 am, and you were hoping to report this, I wanted to let you know I would be happy to provide witness statement if needed.  Best, Julianne j...@aol.com -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
