hi-viz gone mad....

[stowie]

I'm getting confused. I thought that we were being told that black is highly visible?

Black is the new luminous yellow. Luminous yellow is the new grey whilst grey is the new black.

Black is the new luminous yellow. Luminous yellow is the new grey whilst grey is the new black.

Ah!
So, when I put my flourescent jacket on, I'm donning my Lo-Viz gear? It is difficult keeping up.

 

[CopperBrompton]

Yeah, when Mike slags off hi-viz, he's referring to black clothing. It can get a bit confusing.

 

[BentMikey]

Well, you're right in that I'm a bit hypocritical, but mostly because I don't believe in hiviz, yet ride one of the most visible bikes out. It only works because there are so few of them.

I think we need Gok-Wan to do a TV series on it so we can keep up.

 

[BentMikey]

P.s. Trikeman, I think you're confusing me with someone else on the black equals more visible argument.

 

[Miquel In De Rain]

This is me in my hi-viz gear.

Actually the beret a doesn't match.

 

[Panter]

I'd love to see these roads where so many people wear hi viz that it no longer stands out, never seen one yet!
Is it the new fashion then?

 

[byegad]

You always have to take things too far, don't you? The flashing LED is just overkill.

Hangs head in shame...Walks slowly away, sobbing gently.

I have had never had a driver pull out on me whilst riding a unicycle and juggling illuminated coloured balls and wearing a flashing false nose, but I have had drivers pull out on me whilst not wearing hi-vis. Therefore, not wearing hi-viz is clearly a death wish

Yes. That's proof, I'm junking all of my clothing and buying a Day-Glo bodysuit to cycle in.
