Thanks for the rotating clamp information Andy. I did this one on amazon, which reviewers complained didn't have a rotating clamp and assumed they were all the same. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Fold-Out-Safety-Reflector/dp/B004H1QYG2/ref= Does this one look like it has a similar rotating...

I'd love to but on busy roads it isn't always practical. I'd get done for holding up traffic or knocked off the road by an Uber or White Van Man

Thank you Andy for taking the time to find and upload those links. Do you know if the reflector angle can be adjusted on those products? Or do they have to be secured to a vertical bike frame part? The trouble is I don't have 90 degree frame parts relative to the ground, to attach them to. I...

I'm thinking of making very wide reflectors to keep cars from passing so close, because yet another Uber driver whizzed by too close to me last night. Does anyone know how wide is too wide for rear bike reflectors? How wide is illegal? I'm going to have to make them, because these lollipop...

How do I get this driver fined? That video on youtube was brightened a bit, but I have the original stored on my computer. It's 3.5gb in size and far too long to email. It also contains footage of me stopping to pee. My camera doesn't record correct date and time info, would that matter...

Could this driver be fined? I thought we were all going to end up colliding. I have his number plate in a second video

This driver almost got my bike, himself and maybe the lorry driver killed last night. He started overtaking, misjudged my speed and very narrowly missed colliding headlong into an oncoming lorry. Look at how close he got! :eek: If you turn up the volume a lot, you can hear the whooshing noise...

Yesterday I got smoked at the lights by this...thing. It zoomed uphill and I tried to keep up but I was smoked! Had to be a one megawatt motor, it's the only plausible explanation. Coincidentally, these are the same traffic lights where I saw a dad foolishly giving his little daughter a lift...

BUY IT FLECC!!! :) Do they accept Klarna?

I've taken to riding middle lane to avoid potholes, to be further away from carsand pedestrains and be more visible to them. Sometimes I manage to keep up with slower moving traffic at about 22mph, which feels safer on narrow roads. A mother wheeled her pram out right in front of me...

Maybe they forget because they don't see us as a threat? I would have caused a dent if I'd crashed into the side of that car, but I'm not as big a perceived threat compared to colliding with another big heavy metal box on wheels. I was accelerating beyond 20mph using leg muscles when I saw that...

I thought I'd end up crashing today because after reversing to pull out and turning his front wheels to the right, this twonk saw me and stopped just in time. Fortunately, the oncoming car wasn't too close and slowed down, as I braked and swerved into the other lane. DRIVERS DON'T LOOK! I WAS...

I'm sure your MrB was luckier than mine! I bet the poor thing died a long slow agonising and lonely death, in it's dark den, or on the way there. I feel terrible about that. My wrist was too crunchy for me to look for it in those woods at night. I wouldn't have found it because they hide when...

Mine neither... apart from the badger collision, which I believe is rarer than these apparently 1 for every 1.5 million mile e-scooter collisions... but I can't be sure, because as far as I know, nobody is collecting stats on this highly injurious type of collision with badgers! (BTW I can now...

I was lucky to see this then! He'll be fine for the remaining 1,499,999.998 miles

I recently spotted this nutcase dad carrying his young daughter to school by e-scooter. She's the daughter of someone he hates? Or perhaps she's insured for millions?

Escooter riders can't control them very well Until he slowed down at the intersection, I had trouble overtaking this guy a second time, going full pelt downhill - I think I was doing about 25mph:

If available I'd buy a new 8freight style cargo bike

Recorded using a Sennheiser MKE-400 condenser mic and no processing, but it doesn't pick up low voice frequencies well enough. I use that voice when answering calls, it gets rid of telemarketers fairly quickly when I say things like "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" and "I WILL FIND YOU AND KILL YOU"...

How is that safe @AndyBike? Escooters are unsafe for small children being transported like that IMHO, because they're first to hit something in a collision. Her face wouldbe crushed against the handlebar stem, a top hat helmet won't stop that or her face scraping against the handlecar stem with...
