Hi, I'm a fashion student and for my last project i'm doing a collection based on cycling clothes and making them more stylish...no offence to anyone who likes the clothes already out there for cyclists.

yes

12) If there's anything else you'd like to add about cycling clothes or cycling in general, don't hesitate to add

1. there are already clothes that subtly incorporate road safety as well as being stylish, but they are overdesigned and therefore not appealing. I don't want over trendy fashion clothes, just regular day to day clothes.

2. I avoid grey or black coats on a bike due to visibility.
