Is the pool noodle a hack? "Single dad discovers ONE amazing trick to make cycling safer"?

- pmoriarty 10y agoIt might not be new for you, but it's new for me. So I'm interested in it and upvoting it.
- abandonliberty 10y agoIn that case I would recommend some research into cycling safety, or perhaps a local course if one is offered. There are many ways to improve your safety on a bicycle and I would strongly encourage you to do everything you can to protect your health and life.
- mjevans 10y agoIt's sort of a 'hack' in that it helps make it more obvious to drivers what the actual frame of the other type of vehicle is. What's it's really fixing though is an anti-collision planning issue related to packing mixed types of vehicles on the same path of travel. Though there is still the issue of differential speed between the human powered and mechanically powered devices.
