Skoda must be a sponsor. </p> gibbo on "By the book "cycling safety" campaign from Skoda" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17212#post-237792 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 15:47:34 +0000 gibbo 237792@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Why are Skoda running public information ads aimed at cyclists?</p> <p>And why are they using him? </p> Murun Buchstansangur on "By the book "cycling safety" campaign from Skoda" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17212#post-237726 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 10:40:56 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 237726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Totally agree about shoulder checking at lights - I think showing any signs of not moving off at a green light makes a left or right hook more likely, not less.</p> <p>Also don't see the point of establishing eye contact at junctions with drivers in front - it's the ones behind you have to worry about IMO. </p> ARobComp on "By the book "cycling safety" campaign from Skoda" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17212#post-237707 Wed, 30 Nov 2016 08:47:00 +0000 ARobComp 237707@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ADvertised to me on the youtubes. </p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWV1s6VFTNc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWV1s6VFTNc</a></p> <p>Hopefully they've targeted this specifically to "cyclists" so that people who wouldn't know better won't see it. </p> <p>One weird thing is "when pulling off at traffic lights, check over your shoulder before pulling off" - I sort of thing you should be taking primary position if you're that worried about someone trying to left hook you.... Surely it'd be better to advise that... </p>
