Cycling visibility - How to be safe by increasing visibility on the road

2

  1. I use front and back lights whenever I ride- day or night. Like you, my lights do various patterns.

  2. Hi Viz colors, especially socks, back of riding tights. Hi- Viz moving colors are seen more than static ones. I do use hi- viz jerseys and gloves when possible.

  3. For mountain biking, we wear hunter orange clothing during hunting seasons (7 months out of year). Also, no white helmets in the woods.

Finally- I make sure I am not riding on certain roads at certain times of day due to sun angle. We have some east-west roads that are hard for riders to see. I will start my rides at a different place , just to bypass those tough roads.
