Fluorescent, Reflective Clothing for CyclingWhen you or your children are out on your bikes you may not realise how difficult it can be for drivers to see you. Responsible drivers will often slow down for cyclists and give plenty of room; the sooner they see you, the more time they have to react safely. At night, reflective materials mean you can be seen three seconds sooner - it could save your life. Even in good light conditions, the sooner you can be seen, the better. Sun can dazzle, hedges can camouflage and other road users can distract drivers from seeing you so fluorescent colours are important When cycling home from work as daylight is fading the best option is a high visibility waistcoat - the fluorescent colours show up whilst it is still daylight and the reflective strips make you visible once it’s dark and drivers have their lights on. If you carry a dark rucksack, a high vis rucksack cover will help you to be conspicuous from behind. Alternatively, carry your things in a high vis rucksack or BrightSportz fluorescent, reflective duffle bag. Our BrightSportz and BrightKidz fluorescent, reflective waistcoats mean you can be conspicuous in style - choose fluorescent red, green, orange, yellow or pink. If you’re on a tight budget or prefer the traditional style see our basic waistcoats for adults and children. Enjoy safe cycling and remember your lights too! |
