As already stated in an earlier post, biking is a freedom thing and an expression of our individuality. For me, a big part of biking is a symbol of my rebellious personality. If the out of touch politicians in their “Ivory Towers” had their way we would all be riding around looking like chocolate orange clones. >:(Quote:

But good on em I think its a ridiculous proposal, if i want to wear i hi-viz jacket i will do, personally i don't really notice the difference enough when i see other people wearing them to wear one myself but thats my personal opinion. I know a few people who do wear them that have taken it for granted that because they're wearing a hi-viz they WILL be seen, and been pulled out in front of because they were less careful. If you want to wear one and it makes you feel safer then great, so long as you keep your guard up, it probably does help in certain conditions.
If they try to bring a law like that over here i would hope for the same thing, maybe have a WB ridout to block off the M25/M602 junction?... maybe about... 7am-9am? :p might piss a few people off!
GEo
FJ that is a very impressive number of bikers. Sometimes I wish we could be more like the French when it comes to standing up against the Iron Fist of the Establishment. As I said earlier, politicians are only too well aware that the biking community in the UK is not big enough to make a significant impact at the ballot box. Of course, I would prefer to follow a democratic path to express my anger at any anti-biking legislation but, as a realist I know this is not an option. Unfortunately, direct action such as witnessed in the French protests appears to be the only way to force the government to listen to our views. If these proposals come to our shores they will be the thin end of a very big wedge. I believe that as bikers we must stand united and nip this in the bud. If that means bringing our road network to a standstill, then so be it. I know that some people may find such action a tad drastic but, the stakes are high. >:(
Are any WB members attending the Brum protest on 2nd July? I would really like to lend my support to the cause.

I have a silver jacket, but prefer my traditional black one to match my black helmet, black boots & black gloves. I ride a 1700cc motorbike with the lights on and have the preofile of a barn door if you can't see me go to spec savers
