The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure
“Where the built environment separates human skin and bone from lorries, cars, and buses, there is no need for our frantic striving to make fragile bodies hyper-visible”

I wish people would stop making up random numbers of months that “nobody bikes.”
If you don’t personally bike unless weather is perfect, say that.
If you don’t see the value of investing in bike infra, say that.
