But if your gear is bright and reflective, I feal you have a better chance of being seen. People look for what they ecpect, BE THE UNECPECTED, BE LOUD, BE NOTICED, STAY ALIVE! Just my opinion, but I'm 50 nd still alive, and have had no real "close calls".
bingo. i use a white helmet [ goes with any color of bike ] and bright green jacket. if your coming over a hill what do they see first ?
