riding in reflective jackets

[Holy Roller]

For those who want a hi viz vest but don't want to fork out the mulah for one, then come on over to the BOP on 26th Feb for our charity ride there is one being offered as a spot prize, badges are only $10 entry. Shameless plug I know but its for a great cause.

At the momment, a bright red bike with a set of yoshi pipes and they know I,m around, as I come up behind I can see them look in there mirrors, as for being hit from behind, well people run into the back of Kenworths, and if they can't see that, they can't see you in your Hi Viz.
But I am thinking of getting a vest anyway.

Thinking of one for work and back, wouldn’t use it on weekend rides tho.
I've seen people hit big yellow buses, we don’t have a shit show with people like that about!
Maybe if we shot flares at cars when they get too close?

[terbang]

occasionally wear my work one though it really does look a bit gay. Might prove its worth at night though..?

[Fishy]
