An esteemed colleague of mine rides his bike to work on occasion (actually a couple of them do, but this story is just about one of them). A few weeks ago, he tangled with a car and the car won.
OK. It was a pedestrian. And the pedestrian won. That just doesn't sound as impressive does it? Anyway, he didn't feel so great for a week or so.
So he decided to go visible.
Additions: yellow bumpers, new yellow helmet, coat, caution sign, reflectors. I just love this guy - he cracks me up. But damn - SOMEONE will see his next crash - we're pretty sure of that!
And in the spirit of sharing wisdom, here are his helmet links:

Yeesh. Again, I'm in complete agreement: Helmets are sexy. Wearing one shows that you've got a brain worth protecting, a form of survival of the fittest, no?
