Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Doesn't it also mean that in an environment where every cyclist is in highvis, as well as an increasing number of pedestrians, street signs, etc that hi vis starts to blend into the background?

With all those distractions. A ninja cyclist will definitely be easy to miss.

Driving to pic up a new car in the pitch black of night yesterday. I spotted two roadies in Hi-Viz gilets, and with small saddle lights. Riding on the pavement. This irritates me. But its encouraged here, and they were going at an appropriate speed. So fair play. At the same time, and while admittedly a touch distracted, a guy on a hybrid, dressed as a ninja, and with no lights. Was riding tightly into the side of the road. Only really spotted him because my headlights hit a white wall he contrasted to. Crazy.
