[33 / 8 / 23]
Dear coronatards, please stop wearing this shit, it gives you a false sense of security and I am judging the FUCK out of you. If you're relying on the color of your fucking shirt to not get run over, you've already done so many things wrong that you shouldn't be allowed on a bike, ever. Furthermore, this kind of apparel only exists to pander to normie NPCs who think bicycles should have stupid little 25 cent reflectors in the spokes and cute widdle safety bells preferably made of kawaii Japanese bronze, instead of proper life and death road safety equipment. You are basically doing the jersey version of wearing a foam safety hat (also does nothing, exists because of respectability politics, and broadcasts that you aren't fit to ride except on those early summer chaperoned community rides where the oinky piggy oinkers shut down the streets and put up little boo-boo stands with band aids and neosporin and go "seee? we care about your safety soooooo much!") Quick test: if you can wear a ninja suit treated with vantablack and still be safe, you're dong it right. Stop enabling trojan horse mind virus "safety" (sic) ideology, use your lights and never ever buy a hi-viz safety shirt again, if not for your own dignity then at least for the safety of others, thanks.

Rediculous reasoning my dude, hi vis or reflective patters increase road visibility dramatically in bicycle, motorcycle and even in cars (grey, black or silver white cars often blend with the road in mirrors) you are just gay for wanting to wear "cool black".

>>1869745 >lycrahomos >homos going lycra is a chad move, only betas worry about if they look gay or not, assoschad knows that he cant look gay even in lycra. Earthtones, matt black paint and all black kit is a horrible trend, visibility of cyclists drops down heavily in the shade of trees even in daylight - in the same conditions hivis pops out like shit on your shoes.
even if go non high vis, going white or any other non-black colour (especially solid nonpattern version) in your kit or frame colour is a big step up in visibility. Almost all cycling or moto crashes with cars have a "I didnt see him" element and in moto research hi vis helemts up visibility drastically.

>>1869748 I don't really care if people can't determine my orientation at a glance because that would be a weird thing to worry about, I just want working class male drivers to keep staring at my ass at red lights and then look confused and upset when I turn around and realize I'm a guy, and I find colors other than solid black give them more to look at if that makes any sense,

You can be in a situation that from your point of view is safe because it has been safe the previous one thousand times you were in it, and still get obliterated by a retarded motorist not paying enough attention. Therefore the sooner visible you are the better.

Ngl I'd almost rather have a slightly higher risk of getting hit by a car than wear this clown outfit, that's how much I hate hi viz. That's assuming it's actually effective in reducing risk, which I'm pretty skeptical about.

road positioning is everything and also staying off roads as much as possible is the best thing you can do

hi vis does increase visibility yes, it probably is safer to wear but the point i got from ops post is that if you are relying on your hi vis to be seen then you arent safe
your own riding is the ONLY thing you can rely on to keep you safe hi vis helmets reflectors lights and so on are only extras

>>1872016 You got it right. I was taught the same thing before doing roadwork. The Hi vis vest helps, but you need to watch for traffic as well. a hi vis vest will help a driver notice you and slow down, but it won't stop them if you are already in a stupid position.

Epilepsy causing lights, one red and one yellow = people mistake you for a road repair vehicle and overreact by trying not to run you over Having rear view mirror (where you can see car's lights from afar) and good ears is the best protection though

I'd rather they think I am unaware and have no idea where they are. That way my lane-hogging and unpredictable swerving makes them more cautious. If I had a mirror they'd feel entitled to assume things about me, about what I know, and what I will do, and assume what they can do based on those assumptions.
