When I lived in Colorado and biked a lot on Hwy 9 between Breckenridge and the Gore Range trails, I tied a ski pole across my handlebars so the steel point stuck out about 3 feet, and added a fluttering red or orange flag to the basket. That helped prompt the county board to build a nice bike trail to the Dillon area. Anyone brushing against the pole would have knocked me into the ditch, and that being the era before bike helmets, the results would have been not good. Fortunately cars swung wide.

More than a year ago, someone posted a message about flags that stick out to the *side* of the bike to discourage motorists from shaving the cycle when passing. Does anyone remember the web page for ordering these flags?
