Fluorescent clothing in the day, reflective at night, knee and ankle reflective gear at night plus lights.

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!

BB!! (Stands for Barton, not Baby Blue!!)

A key reason why, last year, we switched the kit colour scheme to have teal on the back.

I think what John means is this is a key reason why the baby blues will be resurrected with the next kit order...

I agree that the BBs are very visible

the following provides a contra view of the high vis phenomena effect on car driver behaviour

This is not to say that the rider was not more visible however.

I, for one, am in favour of brighter kit options.
