Kiwi bike safety campaign: 1.5m for 1.5M

by posterous on 4 September 2009 · 0 comments

1.5 million cyclists on New Zealand roads fear for their safety. Give us 1.5 metres of clearance. Our lives depend on it!

1.5 metres to survive.

Would you stand on the spot with your back towards a truck as it drives towards you at 100km/h, knowing it was going to pass within a metre?

Plain Lunacy? This is an everyday occurrence for cyclists on our roads.
