    Only when there is a White van approaching you at 50MPH.

    I saw a guy last year who was riding in full body armour (MTB stylie) covered over with a hi viz so presumably very concerned about his safety.

    Which made it all the stranger that he wan't wearing a helmet and proceeded to jump every single red light along CS7.
