Hi, I am new to your forum and I am 70 yoa male and I live in Albury NSW.
I have been Bicycle racing and touring in England and Australia for the past 55 years and the same as you guys I have had many near misses with motorists coming to close and sometimes cutting in front of me. Back in1969 I was hit when on the Nepean Highway at Aspendale by a hit and run driver at about 12.30 am , there was nothing else on the road, and I spent 4 months recovering in the Alfred Hospital, I was one of the lucky ones.

As part of the solution to the problem we have with Motorists getting tooo close I have designed and had manufactured a Bright Yellow BIB type Top with the words
