I've been hit by a few cars and I'm only 12 don't give I still love to cycle

We all take risks when leaving our house. Don't go being afraid to do something just cause you see these videos. Death is normal and it happens, don't be afraid of it. Because once you become afraid of dieing, you stop living. Do what you love, die doing it, at least you won't die of a heart attack in your bed because you sit around afraid of doing anything cause you don't wanna die.

@ThatKidKnows I dunno...poor excuse :P

I am definitely pro cycling, just it would be nice for some adverts so (some) drivers better understood the needs of cyclists.

I've had a few unpleasant experiences of the roads...but wouldn't give up cycling! Cycle to school tomorrow :)

@thomase1 good point. thats why i don't cycle to school... even though i have the full kit... Hi Viz and All.... Its some motorists. If a motorist can't see a bush (i had one crash into my houses front garden a few years ago, i can see why it is best to not cycle...

@ThatKidKnows Obviously, but if people don't look for cyclists then unfortunately it doesn't matter what we wear. :(

@thomase1 cyclists wearing dark clothes doesn't help. a more visible cyclist reduces thinking time, redicing a car stopping time.

I think the advert should be to look out and careful around cyclists. Yes, at night have lights...but hi viz isn't the answer - road user paying attention is.
