Jersey fashion 2011 seems to be black, grey, grey and black etc. Exoskeleton, heart and lungs I understand - they stand out - look it's a cyclst - I must not go over with all 6 axles.... but plain black and grey is surely useless.......

Yes I agree, cycling clothes should be brightly coloured (doesn't have to be florescent) so riders are visible on the road. To design black clothes for cyclists is just crazy. The companies/retailers must lose money due to lack of sales or reduced prices.

But black is so slimming, dahling. Surely EVERYONE has a classic "little black number" in their wardrobe?

If you wear black you are more likely to be eaten by a shark so its hardly safer is it?

A hunting shark looks up from below and sees its prey backlit by the starry sky above, which is why many night fishing lures are black. However, a car does not have the same vantage point as a shark.Stewie Griffin wrote:http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/scuba/clothes/clothes.htm

On a very dark night, I agree fluorescent is barely distinguishable from black or any other flat colour, but that is why there are "reflective" materials.0 -

You mean you've never looked at the colour of what comes out the rear chute after a bottle (or two) of red vino collapso?
What?

A black float is easier to see on a bright day than a bright coloured one.0 -

Do a little research into the success of Rapha, whose collection is mainly based on black with white highlights.0 -

What is the point of the above photos?
All I can see is a country road and a corrugated door :?
None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

I'm liking your style! I can tell your the kind of cyclist who adorns cool bright* kit.
A good example! This time a sensible young lady enjoying the country roads, happily looking at the trees:
* - "Emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts; shining" not black "Being of the color black, producing or reflecting comparatively little light and having no predominant hue"
