SHEFFIELD Council is giving free high-visibility yellow vests to cyclists to reduce the risk of them being involved in collisions.
Last year three cyclists were killed and 33 seriously injured in accidents in Sheffield, and crashes involving bikes averaged one every three days.
But the chances of collision are vastly reduced when high visibility clothing is worn. About 60 per cent of crashes involve a driver who may have "looked but did not see" a cyclist - and florescent clothing can make all the difference.
Sheffield Cycle Campaign will be helping on Wednesday Oct 31st by putting stickers on cycle parking publicising the offer.
