PassPixi
On my review here for you all is a Camera Safety Sign that is very simple in it’s simplicity, it came to me from another cyclist in my Harlow Cycle Group Yasmin, she passed this to me to me with the idea I give it a try and a review on the sign, and this is my verdict on the PassPixi ......
PassPixi Camera Warning Patch.
PassPixi is made out of ............A square magnetic sign of a Camera .. on the four corners are very strong Neodymium magnets, and we all know about how strong Neodymium magnets are don’t we, no, oh, well in that case, Neodymium magnets are the strongest permanent magnets commercially available, anywhere in the world. They provide unparalleled levels of magnetism and resistance to demagnetisation when compared to ferrite, alnico and even samarium-cobalt magnets.
The idea of the magnets is simply attach to the material you want to have the sign stuck to, in my photo I simply placed my cycle jersey on the table, placed the sign on the back, straighten it up and adjust before I placed the fitting magnets on the inside of the jersey, the magnets are strong, very strong, so be carful to keep them apart until you need to attach them to the sign, strong enough to go through your jacket, saddle bag, panniers. On one attempt at trying the magnets I had to get a sharp knife to separate them, so be warned (if you do have to use a sharp knife please do take car, we don’t want anyone hurt) it’s not a recommendation that PassPixi suggests....

PassPixi also have other sticky signs on there website, which would be ideal if you cycle using a cargo bike etc, check it out.
My Verdict.
I placed the PassPixie on the rear of my cycle shirt, to be honest I forgot it was there until after a couple of hours when I got the bike to sit on a wooden bench, then I remembered it was there, but out on the ride I didn’t get any real close Pass, so maybe it was doing it’s job of getting the motorist to maybe think before they just passed by only only leaving a small pace, was it the sign that they might be appearing on camera!
A much better place to keep the camera sign would be on a permanent place, rather than keep trying to take the magnets apart, they are real powerful, so a rucksack, or your rear panniers bag would be ideal.
Main thing I feel the PassPixi is getting the idea that cameras are being used for dangerous driving, so it has to be a good thing, thanks to Yasmin for passing this on, it’s better to have the sign on your bike, than no sign at all.
I will take a few photos of other cyclists with the PassPixi, so keep coming back for the updates.
