High-vis for cycling, high-vis for walking to parties, high-vis for children playing… Where do people think this stops? Comment & Analysis: Yesterday, it was the bus drivers' union's turn to call for mandatory high-vis for cyclists. But I just have to ask: Where do people think this stops? The data doesn't align with much of what some people are talking about. A catch-up for anybody not following: After a backlash, the Government backtracked on the idea of making helmets and high-vis a requirement for all cyclists, but they still seem to be considering such regulations for pedal-assisted bicycles, which are currently treated as bicycles under Irish and EU law. https://irishcycle.com/2026/02/19/high-vis-for-cycling-high-vis-for-walking-to-parties-high-vis-for-children-playing-where-do-people-think-this-stops/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
