Yellow does not always improve your visibility

Here on the east coast, the majority of people commute east in the morning and west in the afternoon. At certain times of year, the solar glare is a major problem and often responsible for traffic jams. Sometimes you end up biking into the glare and almost unable to see. Then you think: "If I can't see the road, drivers can't see me either". Scary.

Hi-viz yellow is supposed to be more visible in cities, while bright orange is supposed to be more visible in rural areas.

I think drivers should actively look for cyclists, however.

Sounds like a good reason to wear contrast -- yellow and black worked. If one thing blends in, hopefully the other won't.

I think it's cool you got feedback. Yeah... I know it was a coworker. But he took the time to mention it, instead of just forgetting/repressing that he almost killed you.

I first read this title as being about our friend, "yellow", who lives in Salt Lake City and posts here! Confused!

Interesting point about light and visibility.

Me too! I was thinking "What does Yellow have to do with visibility? Does she have some kind of cloaking device?"
