Yes, if you count yellow flip flops and plaid Bermuda shorts ! JK...
Behavioral psychology may offer some perspective. It’s difficult to be certain that riders wearing hi-viz do not behave in a different way because of their deliberate look-at-me wardrobe choices. Many (most?) riders wearing non hi-viz gear never get hit by cars. is that because of their behavior, the other drivers behavior, the chosen hi-viz/non hi-viz gear, ??. Aside from the reflective gear worn after dark that is illuminated by headlights and makes persons more likely to be seen, regular hi-viz may or may not be part of a direct cause-effect relationship. Imho, if you ride like you’re going to get hit all the time, you’ll probably be more careful to help prevent it from happening. So presenting yourself in a way that makes you be seen, no matter what you’re wearing, is the best overall strategy. If hi-viz makes the rider more cognoscente of how he or she presents themself, that’s a good enough reason for wearing it. I’ll even suggest that the most likely way to be noticed by the most drivers in daylight hours is to ride naked. Everybody will look, take pics, post it to the interweb and likely even make you a local celebrity that people try to notice when they’re driving. Everybody here already owns their own naked free & clear, so it’s free- guzzi content… But I hear eye bleach is pretty $$$ where you can find it.
Since I started wearing this ice cream vendor’s jacketPeople don’t look, they stare…(sometimes).Maybe for all the wrong reasons, but I noticed that in critical decision making situations, the eye contact period lasted longer and you felt like your presence had registered.
Hmmmmm......Body paint or tattoos.... could save a lot of time dressing and undressing.....
