    Cars, lorries and pedestrians will also be compelled to be repainted in high-visibility luminous yellow paint while cats, squirrels and urban foxes will also be made more visible, following a study that a number of accidents are caused by drivers swerving to avoid badly lit mammals that have strayed onto the highway.

    A cycle shop in the town is cashing in on the crisis by advertising ‘normal clothes’ for cyclists to make them stand out. ‘They are the same as the normal clothes that everyone used to wear, jeans, T shirts, anoraks or whatever…’ explained Mr Randle, ‘But they’ve got the word ‘safety’ at the front, so they are about twice the price.’

    Genuis. I particulary like the image of a luminous urban fox.

    It's a very quirky website, there is some great stuff on there.
