Reflective Vests Can Help Save Lives

want to help save a life?

Want to help save some lives?  how about helping me raise some awareness of bicyle riders that are hit by cars because they cant be seen.  I work in a billing office for a local hospital and i cant tell you how many cases come into the the emergency room for this reason. 

The poorer the person the more likely he or she is on a bike going to and from their job.  How may times have you yourself come close to hitting one of these riders simply because you couldnt see them. Its winter and it gets dark early, they wear dark colored clothers and before you know it.

I think a simple solution would be to have all riders wear a cheap reflective vest.  How to hand them out will be a task as well as trying to find supporters to invest monatarily to cover the cost.
