Would You Feel Safe Driving Without
Rear-View Mirrors?
Rear-View Mirrors?
Why does this matter?
Cyclists face unique challenges on the road, yet they are often left without the tools necessary to navigate safely. While drivers benefit from mirrors and advanced safety features, cyclists must rely on peripheral vision or risky shoulder checks, leaving them vulnerable to unexpected hazards.
This disparity in safety measures puts cyclists at a significant disadvantage, despite their growing presence on urban streets and rural trails. Equal awareness on the road shouldn’t be a privilege—it’s a necessity for everyone’s safety.
By equipping cyclists with tools that enhance their situational awareness, we can create a safer and more balanced road-sharing experience. Improved awareness allows cyclists to make smarter decisions, avoid potential dangers, and ride with greater confidence.
It’s time to bridge the gap and ensure that cyclists are afforded the same level of safety consideration as other road users, fostering a culture of mutual respect and responsibility.
Cars have mirrors. Cyclists don’t. This puts cyclists at a disadvantage, increasing the risk of accidents caused by limited situational awareness.
Turning your head to check traffic means taking your eyes off the road ahead—an unsafe compromise.
Would you drive without rear-view mirrors? Then why cycle without rear-view vision?
