I saw a cyclist almost hit by a car in central Tauranga yesterday. The driver was in the wrong as he didn't give way at the intersection, but the cyclist didn't appear to be making much of an effort to be seen. It was a gloomy morning and I don't think he had lights on his bike, nor was he wearing any bright clothing. I admire cyclists for getting out of their cars and doing what many of us won't, whether it's for the exercise or to reduce congestion on the roads, but please help us to see you.
