No need for fancy lights! Just put on baby blue and pink and you cannot be missed! Looks like an easter egg is riding by!

I think what John means is this is a key reason why the baby blues will be resurrected with the next kit order...John D wrote:A key reason why, last year, we switched the kit colour scheme to have teal on the back.leftcoaster wrote:the baby blues are definitely easier to see than the black-backed 'stealth' kit............

Re: Cyclist visibility
I agree that the BBs are very visible

This is not to say that the rider was not more visible however.
I, for one, am in favour of brighter kit options.
