Orange vest reduces harrassment

That picture was taken riding down California way in West Seattle. The passenger is my friend Jill. She said she gained a whole new respect for my bike handling skills that night.

The beer is some sort of stout. Can't remember what sort.

And what fun would growing up be?

Oh, and it's not obvious, but this is a demonstration of my wool addiction. Ibex wool jersey and knickers.

Yesterday I wore my neon-green jersey, and a train conductor asked (jokingly) if I could please turn that thing down a bit. It is quite vibrant, but I've definitely noticed drivers looking twice at me where before they would've just turned without a second glance. I also feel more confident knowing I'm very visible, which I think makes a big difference in how you ride.

I'm a big fan of Brooks brand "Nightlife" clothes. They are truly SCREAMING YELLOW!!!!! I get jokes all the time about having to wear sunglasses to look at me. But then again, I also get comments from car drivers who tell me they could see me a mile down the road. That's exactly what I'm after.

I just added some new items to my Nightlife biking wear, bought on Terry bikes site:
The capri tights:

The long tights:

and the new longsleeve thin top:

I'm hoping the 3 items all fit me and I don't have to send any of them back!

I may get the capris for my younger daughter in her 20's as well- she just started road biking.
