Might be rather more productive than just posting a photo online...

I bet he can see convertibles driven by large chested women, yorkie bars, and amber traffic lights on the verge of turning red.

Except it's ''cycle aware'' and cycleaware.com / cycleaware Inc are a California corporation selling reflective clothing, mirrors, etc., and I'm sure they have not been consulted about the use of their trademark. Their site lists Cannondale and Jamis on their ''community links'' page, who I'm sure would not want to be associated with whoever came up with the ''I can't see cyclists'' brainwave.

I've seen these notes several times.
This actually annoys me , they may as well say "if I hit you it's your own fault" or " I take no responsibility for hitting you"
A sign doesn't relinquish responsibility, like my daughters old horse riding school saying you ride here at your own risk, what you charge, make money but expect no responsibility ?? You take the money you must accept responsibility

I used "cyclist aware" in inverted commas to recognise the fact that it was probably generic as neither this nor the "hashtag" seem to come up on Google

The hashtag angle seems to have drawn a blank, true, but ''cycle aware'' brought up this company whose name has been used, either with or without their consent. I'd suggest it was without their consent and I'd argue that attributing selective bike blindness to truck drivers harms their image.

Considering how cheap and effective modern vehicle camera technology is I can't understand why any large vehicle is allowed on the roads with known blinds spots. It seems our lives are cheaper than the necessary equipment.

Is it only cyclists he cannot see?

If a cyclist is in front can he or she not see them?

What if the cyclist was in the cab with him?!?

 

[Drago]

I bet if an attractive female cyclist with her cleavage on show went past they'd spot it.

Then he would undoubtably be invisible to him
