Damn, while biking to the studio I was looking at a car to make sure it didn't drive in front of me and I missed a lady who decided to cross the zebra ... so I rode into her. Thankfully just a light bounce, no damage and she just walked away after some well deserved yelling at me. But I just... didn't see her at all even though I know this zebra well and always make sure to not be an asshole to pedestrians.

Not even sure what conclusion to draw because I was paying attention, normal speed etc.

@ascii_only @Techaltar it is indeed very good. Noted that movement is important; the sequential turn signals now fitted to cars could usefully be integrated into the handlebars of motorcycles and bicycles. A continuous sequential flashing light from the centre to the perimeter would create the impression of an exploding object in the peripheral vision of the subconscious brain, which would bring it immediately into the conscious brain.

Does anybody produce such a thing?
