- The Invisible Cyclist
- Episode 1 in .citycycling 31 and Episode 2, in .citycycling 32…
The Invisible Cyclist is a new video campaign from citycycling which is simply aimed at showing things that happen on the roads which highlight the disregard for safety, whether through negligence or deliberate action, of various road users.
It is hoped that these clips will not put people off cycling, as the benefits far outweigh anything else. But we want all road users: cyclists; motorists; and pedestrians, to rediscover a certain respect for each other and each other’s rights.
Follow the rules. Be nice. It couldn’t be simpler.
