Only 5 days left on Kickstarter, to order or not?

Interesting idea on logo orientation @Rod.

Good cycling skills e.g. owning the road when appropriate, appropriate positioning of bike in traffic/traffic jams, and constant good observation are just as important.

Happy Christmas John.

Vehicles alongside only need to see the green light, so I still stand by my comment to a degree, but perhaps if the logo were less confused…

First of Happy Christmas to You, Margot and family.

This idea has one flaw – the cyclist logo should be projected upside down, so that it is instantly recognisable, this is precisely the same mistake as Apple made with its first generation of Apple logo’d laptops they put it up the ‘correct’ way until someone said hey, who wants to see the logo upside down when the Mac is open and in use, they reversed it – someone should let the inventor know, so it can be more useful.

Happy New Year!

Rod
