wearing dark jerseys when road biking, especially in the winter is nuts! when the sun gets low you often just can’t see cyclists until you’re almost top of them. years ago a car driving pal pulled up in front of me and said, ‘you realise I didn’t see you”, I had a lovely black gore jacket, now only used on the mountain bike.
Especially with a low sun and wet conditions drivers can often miss cyclists particularly near the hedge on country roads. I always wear fluro colours on the road with a decent flashing LED, incidentally a lot of LED lights have a poor strength and many riders are wearing dark gear under the misapprehension that they are clearly visible with the LED.
There not much point arguing that the driver should be paying more attention when you are dressed in black, lying under the wheel of his car,
