I never normally wear a helmet commuting, but do wear one when out in the lanes.
How come?
Re visibility; I've been driving quite a lot in the countryside recently, at night, and every cyclist I see has shitty lights and maybe a grubby "hi-vis" top that might as well be a brown coat... But I've seen every one well in advance, if they're coming towards me I can even work out how wide their bars are by seeing their hands. Even the ones with no lights are visible. Is it because I'm a cyclist? Or do I have special powers?
