Bike riders wear helmets and high-vis vests to reduce their vulnerability on the road. Problem is a new study finds this dehumanises cyclists, putting them more at risk of aggression from drivers.
Aggression towards cyclists and pedestrians needs to be prosecuted. The penalties need to be appropriate to the potential harm as well.
Until that happens, there won’t be any real change.
How to prove an attack is the hard part. Perhaps a dash cam device for bikes and a police force willing to take it seriously? I don’t have a good answer at all.
