Subject: RE: BS: What scientists think about
British researcher Ian Walker (U of Bath) has found (Journal: Accident Analysis and Prevention) that car drivers overtaking cyclists leave 14 cm more space (between them and the cyclist) if the cyclist is a female and leave 8,5 cm less if the cyclist wears a helmet.
I'm sure that's something we all wanted to know since long.
