absolutely- will take comment under advisement- and I did thank her for stopping me- I was sorta hoping that there was another option other than never wearing that jersey and that kept me safe..
How about a blinky light? I think a wildly-flashing red light catches the attention of others way better than the color of your jersey. I tend to wear what I like, and if I'm worried about it I clip my blinky onto my seat pack. You can get really really small ones if you're worried about weight.
