@elliek asks:
Is there a flexible rod sideways out from the seatpost into the road, w/warning flag, the length of the required distance from the cyclists to an overtaking vehicle?
I think my husband's seen one, spring mounted to not cause an accident, but enough to encourage a driver to go farther out to avoid damage to their car.
Q2. Does this exist? Is it legal?
I've seen vertical flags, but that's not what I want. Drivers come too close.
@ascentale @elliek @bikenite I custom made my flag to be tall and supported by a horizontal fiberglass rod.
The most attention getting thing I do is "wobble". When I notice there's a car coming, I pretend to avoid a pothole. This really gets most driver's attention because they fear I might swerve out in front of them. Don't do this when the road is wet.
Other entertaining options that play into driver fears "it might damage my car" are a giant spinning propeller, wet looking 5 ft paint brush.
