Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

the intro was the best part i thought.

It's an ad for UK driver awareness of cyclists.

yeah i got that, but i'm saying the message isn't clear enough. if it had a bicycle in it that might've helped.

i'd rather see hipsters doing concentric backwards circles (on bikes) with the bear doing the worm.

That was awesome. Thanks. But he real question is: why wasn't the bear wearing a white glove?

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Because the bear can't moonwalk worth a damn.

The point was, if you're not looking for something out of the ordinary, or something that you're not instructed about possibly being there, you just might not see it at all.

To relate this to cycling on the street:

If a driver is only focusing on other vehicles, such as the few directly in front, a couple to the rear, several to the side, and maybe some more parked along the side of the street, they might miss a cyclist nearby.

A driver does not need to be an idiot to miss seeing a cyclist... it's because they're focusing on everything else.

But, yeah, this is a repost, and has probably been reposted more times than anything else I've seen in my short time on BF.
