Joe Low Posted December 13, 2010 Share Nice one Chris Let's see if any Hubbers start clocking up R50 (discounted) fines. I think a 2hr ride could get expensive. I have to go home now to fit some reflective material to my pedal arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 13, 2010 Share Yep, according to this I am breaking the law when I lift both arms off the bike. Which I have done before. I also do not have reflectors on the rear or front of the bike or on the pedals themselves, rather employing lights & a NATHAN reflective vest/arm-warmers/reflective clothing at such times that I would consider myself not to be visible by other road users. Nor do I have a noise-making device other than myself. However, I consider my voice to be far superior to anything that a bell / horn could accomplish insofar as volume & directionality is concerned. I wear the NATHAN if I am to ride at any time that vision could be considered as being impaired. I wear reflective items all the time. So yes, I have broken the law on these accounts.
