Many times we let our desire to "look the part" override our responsibility to our family and friends to remain as safe as possible. Sensibility dictates that we be as visible as possible as not all drivers are as keenly sighted or attentive as they should be. In the fall, with its diminishing daylight hours and cooler weather, I will usually wear at least a "hi-viz" cycling vest and always (day or night) have my Superblinky taillight and front flasher on. The vest can be unzipped if it's too hot and still improves the chances of being seen from afar. I am always amazed at how much more room I'm given by drivers when riding in this fashion.
