Got no hi-viz. Two Dinottes (ultra bright, front and rear, set to steady) and two CatEyes on my bag (medium/low brightness, front and rear, set to blink). Reckoned that would do it. I like to dress in the manner of a ninja beatnik rabbi at all times (that'll be dark, then). Plus I have a black bike, black bag, black helmet etc. Basically, if I can't get it in black it should fuck off immediately.
But I'm not interested in getting my noggin crumpled so I think I could do with a few hi-viz bands, Claqs™ which are easily removed etc. I'm quite intrigued by Retroflective vinyl too.
Basically I'm too proud to adopt the bright yellow waistjacket because I'm a superficial wanker but I wish I wasn't. If my helmet, 2 sets of lights and eternal vigilance can't steer me right, then it's probably shit luck which can't be helped.
Conclusion: doesn't hurt none.
