Do you wear one of these types of things? I find they really help on the motorcycle. Wore something similar when I bicycled in the winter in Saskatoon, and it was equally useful.

Probably the more you look like a cycle cop, the better.
Seriously, I'm kinda liking the idea of that vest.  Looks like it might be a bit hot, though.  What price visibility, eh?

^^No, no, no.  Just go down to the local safety supply store.  The have MESH vests like that with reflective Xs on them.  You won't even know you have it on they're so light.

^ Doesn't it attract cougars?  :D

Pretty sure it doesn't attract anybody  :-X

I resist wearing it, as it is not exactly 'cool', but it makes such a huge and obvious difference in how traffic treats me I put it on anyway, at least commuting home at quitting time.

There's a reason why cops and traffic crews working in traffic are going to that exact, eye-searing shade of yellow.

One of Import Queen's helmets has a really cool flashing LED light bar on the back of it.  It's REALLY cool.  Great helmet for the money to BTW.  WebBikeworld Helmet of the Year for 2007 to boot.  GMAX GM68S.  Great helmet..great price.  Don't the have something like that for bicycles??



There are downhill helmets that look like this one, but no lights. The one you posted looks really comfortable and cool too.
