| Help remembering, please - "width" Sometime back there was discussion regarding the perception of automobile drivers of objects in the roadway, with some research indicating that motorists subconsciouly are looking for width as an identifier, meaning that bicycles, which are narrow and tall are at a disadvantage, no matter how many rear flashers or bright clothes worn. Does anyone remember this? I have searched the archives through the Google groups search engine, to no avail. Don't even know the proper search terms - have tried "width," "perception," etc., with no luck. I would like to read the research.

| Re: Help remembering, please - "width" I remember something along the lines of research that was published that because drivers are not looking for "small" objects like bikes, the bike becomes invisible. As I recall it involved a study of basketball players and a gorilla. Is this the one you are referring to? Doug "Denver C.
