Riding Safety and Dorkdom

[Biciclista]

i think the brighter you are, the safer you are. I'm not so sure about dorkiness or not. But if you're in dark clothes without lights, you're definitely a danger to yourself. If you're screaming yellow and blinky all over, only the truly inattentive (or homicidal) are not going to give you space.
Then again, when you get to be my age (over 30 ) dorkiness no longer matters much.

Grog,

I like your theory. The "cool" ones according to your description who are reading the newspaper aren't paying attention either so by wearing your "dork" outfit you are making it known that you want to be seen and therefore are paying attention to your surroundings.
