Three devices designed to increase bicycle safety have been evaluated on rural and suburban roads. Two devices, a Swedish flag and a Finnish disc, are mounted on the rear carrier or frame of the bicycle and project horizontally into the road on the offside. These devices are intended to increase the distances at which vehicles pass the bicyclist. The third device tested was a fluorescent waistcoat which is used as a conspicuity aid. A camera mounted on the rear carrier of a test bicycle allowed photographs of overtaking vehicles to be taken. From the photographs the passing distances were obtained.
