Alternative to Expensive Hi-Viz Jerseys

Funnily enough I saw a ninja cyclist last night - wearing black, no lights, and in the dark. He wasn't hard to see.

When are you going to get it into your thick skull that not everybody has the same eyesight as you?

Anyway that ninja cyclist on Blackfriars Bridge...It took me a second look as on the first look I caught something but wasn't sure what it was...Doubt if I would have had a problem if he had been wearing some sort of light reflective clothing...How many motorists give a second look...Anyway if I had pulled out and he hit me it would have been his fault.

Always the same...when you don't have an answer you make a joke.

I do have an answer, but I don't feel like dancing today. No different on the joking than you then innit!

If you have a Cromwell Tools near you, you might consider grabing some of these http://www.cromwell.co.uk/RTG9624102B & http://www.cromwell.co.uk/RTG9623102B & http://www.cromwell.co.uk/RTG9624002B

The fabric is a really nice fine mesh, so cool air can circulate around your body. Yet they are still warm enough when the temperature drops a few notches.

The only drawback is the lack of pockets like you get on proper cycle jerseys

If you're that way inclinded shops like pound savers and QD stores sell really cheap hi viz thingies...I bought some for a fancy dress party. Wouldn't be seen dead wearing it on the bike

Ah the old Hi-viz debate.


Magnatom finds a comfy chair, opens a bottle of Erdinger and a box of chocolates and awaits the entertainment.....

get the peanuts and crisps out of the cupboard too....

Guys, what's your opinion on this:?

You'll look like a reflective knob?

I got waved at by a colleague today who was wearing a reflective helmet, T-shirt in yellow with reflective strips and fluorescent yellow shorts. On his rucksack he had a matching fluorescent yellow cover with reflective strips.

I did a double take then ignored him.

Range do a hi-viz reflective polo shirt similar to those and cheaper.  I have thought about getting one, then though better of it.  I have a hi-viz vest which I bought at the 99p shop.  Can't remember how much it was.

I also have a bright yellow hi-viz (non-reflective) fleece which I bought at Blacks.  It is perfect for spring/autumn mornings.
