It talks at length about visual acuity by the human brain and some good reasons why sometimes we see things but don't process them, and how we (that is, cyclists as much as motorcyclists) could adjust our riding and collision avoidance techniques to help us 'pop out' from the general background.</p> <p>It actually ties in with my preference for slabs of colour, rather than a bitty approach of stripes and slashes and dots of reflectives, and why flashing bicycle lights are a good thing. </p> Smudge on "It's not just cyclists that some motorist don't see..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=894#post-7953 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:15:46 +0000 Smudge 7953@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n57/grimvisions/4.jpg">and sometimes not looking can cost you more than just paint/money... :-/ </p> recombodna on "It's not just cyclists that some motorist don't see..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=894#post-7923 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:30:12 +0000 recombodna 7923@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This guy doesn't even notice when his car disapear's right beside him.....<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KIemhOdSj0" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KIemhOdSj0</a> </p> chdot on "It's not just cyclists that some motorist don't see..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=894#post-7920 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:18:32 +0000 chdot 7920@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBmE92n5mEI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBmE92n5mEI</a> </p>
