It’s de rigeur to cycle to class these days, but it seems that a lot of us aren’t that cock-sure when it comes to free-wheeling it around town. As more and more of us abstain from wearing hi-vis vests, trouser clips and cycling helmets for fear of looking too conformist; more and more of us are being splattered over sidewalks by drivers and the like. To combat this, a team of students from the University of Brighton have teamed up with Brighton and Hove city council to help make bus-drivers more aware of two-wheelers, and coming up with more avant-garde; hopefully Lady Gaga-inspired headgear to keep our brains safe on the road. ‘Share the roads, Share the responsibility’, innit.
