Post Facebook de Urban Cycling Institute: Every time we tell people walking or cycling to wear hi-viz and lights 'to be seen', we quietly reinforce #Motonormativity—the belief that motorized vehicles are the default, and everyone else must discipline themselves to accommodate for them on our streets. Road safety is not an equally shared responsibility. It is a power game that is heavily skewed against those outside the metal cage.

Chaque fois qu'on demande aux piétons & cyclistes de porter des vêtements haute visibilité & des lumières «pour être vus», on renforce insidieusement la #Motonormativity:
Idée que véhicules motorisés = norme & tous les autres doivent s’adapter à leur présence sur nos routes
