n=1 Hi-viz study
Anecdotal evidence is notoriously unreliable, but Mrs. M-k swears that traffic gave her a wider berth than usual as she cycled home today. I can't imagine why…

Maybe she should have worn bright socks in different colours, that would have been even better
Mind, some busybody might have reported her to the Fashion Police

I saw a chap a while ago cycling with one left leg warmer yellow and the right red,and opposite side red and yellow arm warmers.

Maybe start doing jerseys like the goalkeeping ones from the early 90's. Although I think some of the old pro team jerseys were similar.

The plan was that at TTW (Transition To War) we would take off our hi vis and the Russians would not be able to find us ...

Thanks - I'd forgotten all about Sock Shop. They used to be in the High Street but came to grief like so many others.
