    Really? What about if the asphalt is covered in snow? Or it hasn't rained for a while and is covered in that earth coloured dust. Or if there are puddles reflecting the lights from local shops.

    What I'm getting at is that asphalt is never black. Just ask any artist.

    I am in awe of your evocative artistic expression. Are you a poet?

    One of my jerseys is black (GORE) and I'm still here.

    Infact its the one I wear in the darker colder months as its the one with the best reflective bits on out of the ones I own. I've had it for 3 years now.

    Reflective markings on black clothing are useful if you like get mashed up into a number of pieces; means they can find all the bits.

    Aye, the drab black is back in fashion, and this is more important than safety nowadays.
