What will you do about silent vehicles - electic cars and bicycles? What you're really saying here is that you're willing to compromise your safety by going too fast and not looking properly around a corner you can't see around.
We aren't talking about silent vehicles are we? And no, I'm not saying that... I'm talking about vehicles approaching from behind
Yes you can see the cars behind, if you're looking properly. You can tell their speed of approach too.
No, you cannot if the line of sight is blocked by another vehicle.
You don't need your sense of hearing to ride well and safely, it's an urban myth that needs to be stopped in its tracks.
You've already said as much, and I am saying I disagree... but you are making a really stupid point here. You are trying to say that your safety on the road will not be affected by impeding your second most important sense. What next? Are you going to suggest that hearing actually makes you less safe?
You make a good point hearing the attitudes of drivers from their car's engine note, but it is only a secondary assist at best.
In some situations you need every assist you can get to stay safe.
Perhaps if you rode a little more intelligently you wouldn't need to keep posting your silly little videos
I thought this sort of nastiness was frowned on on yacf? Paaaaaarp
You've got thicker skin than that. Don't pretend to be offended when you are not. Besides a bit of leg pulling there is a bit of a serious point here. You are always full of opinions about how people should ride, and yet it is you who seems to have more than your fair share of conflicts with motorists.
Perhaps you need to rethink your approach to cycling on public roads.
