Hummm, be invisible, or be blazing bright colors that say pull-the Fuck-out of the way.... Might be something good for either choice.... I don't like the invisible option, can you tell????

Yep, right on that one.....I do my best but having a flaming bright flair shooting out of my ass is not gonna help the cagers see me or the rest of us bikers be more more visible.... Maybe we need more radical methods to be visible????
Wear or don't wear whatever you want.
Just be aware that you can all to easily fall into the trap of thinking that Hi-Vis, headlamps, running lights etc will protect you from harm,that people are aware of you.
It can lull you into a false sense of security.
Hi Vis is not a substitute for pro-actively managing your own fate.
People don't always see Fire Engines,let alone bikes.

Right you are Baldy, bright as a Peacock on the bike. Bland and plain off the bike. I really don't know how much it helps to be bold in order to be seen, but clearly I am not taking any chances....
