The bright colors on gear are to help improve visibility. After a couple of years driving a silver Honda Accord and getting to know my local body shop really well, I’ve learned to appreciate visibility. Red bike, red helmet, red highlights on the jacket. And if I could have found a solid red all-weather jacket I’d own it. Bright colors are no replacement for situational awareness and good reflexes, but they’re a very good supplement to it.
