Beach cyclist uses foam “noodle” to help drivers avoid him

by  • 

A cyclist from the Beach, Warren Huska, has attached a pool noodle (that’s accessory used in swimming) to his bicycle to help motorists gauge their distance from him on busy roadways. It seems to work,. He pedals 18 kilometres from to work in North York daily and since he has been noodle-protected Huska says he has noticed a great difference in the care with which drivers skirt him on the road, changing lanes to make sure they don’t hit the noodle. He speculates that this useful measure has not been employed by other cyclists because it is not very cool looking, or maybe because it is a nuisance to install and keep secure.
