Screaming yellow works

[emily_in_nc]

+1 -- I notice this so much when I am driving, or even when cycling and seeing other cyclists up ahead or coming in the other direction. I only have one screaming yellow jersey, as seen in my avatar (plus a jacket), but try to wear it especially on gloomy, overcast days or when riding closer to dusk.

I went to the Pearl Izumi outlet store last year and got 2 hi-viz jerseys marked down 75% each, and a hi-viz windbreaker- total $50 for all! I often wear the jerseys on late afternoon rides or when I commute.

I had a motorist pull up next to me and slow down a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was going to harass me, but instead he complimented me on my visibility!

I'm a big fan of screaming yellow. I would love to find some screaming yellow jerseys with a little bit of a pattern or design to them, rather than a solid color. Has anyone ever found anything like this?

I have this, and this appeals to me. Any other ideas?

The helmet's screaming yellow, my bike's screaming yellow the vest and now I'm thinking about these:

Yes, not a scientific study but I sense and sometimes see drivers take that second glance.

I can't remember where I read it, but high visibility chartreuse is supposed to be the most visible color. I see more and more highway workers wearing that color. High viz yellow is right up there, as is blaze orange.

I used to ride motorcycles and I had a blaze orange helmet. There was a substantial difference in how cars kept their distance from me when I wore that helmet. I've wondered why bike helmets don't come in high visibility colors.
