What I don't understand is why drivers expect us to wear high vis/reflective stuff 'so they can see us', but they make no attempt to help us see them by coating their cars in flouro paint or reflective strips, they just rely on their lights.
I agree that if you're driving a car with functional lights you should be able to see a cyclist a long way off, if you're actually looking.
No it doesn't, black goes with everything.
