That's exactly why I didn't buy one of those jerseys, and I really love the design.

For the right design I will compromise on my usual "nothing but hi-viz." But I will not, ever, wear anything that's the same color as grass and sky, on public roads.

I joke that the only reason I enter foot races is so I can wear something other than hi-viz when I run. I don't race bicycles any more...



And it's not about the people on the phone. They're not going to see me in my hi-viz, either. It's for the people who are paying attention, who first see me a half mile away with plenty of time to react, instead of 100 yards away. (And, should one of those people on the phone hit me, it's for the jury.)
