A new social media campaign seeks to highlight to motorists that every cyclist is also a person with a family.

Joanne Ness, from Birmingham, launched the "More than a Cyclist" message after a fatal crash involving a friend.

Last year, 140 cyclists died on Britain's roads.

The images, released as part of the campaign, show "the human face of a cyclist" and remind motorists "please just give us two metres".

"Cars are machines, they're killing machines," she said. "Roads are there to be shared - please don't hurt us."

Praising the graphics, road.cc readers suggested a campaign of leaflets, similar to anti-littering posters, might also be useful.

Others added their own versions of the poster...

Surely it should be the other way around. Cyclists like pedestrians and equestrians use the roads by right. Unlike motorists who can only use roads with permission from those who pay for them.We, as cyclists, need to be tolerant with the stupid and accept motorism is a mental illness for which the only cure is to supply the afflicted with a 'fairy-cycle'.
