Cyclists wearing more visible clothes just make it easier for motorists to target them


Tuesday’s Health & Wellness section of Wall Street Journal passed along distressing news for folks like me who like to take a spin on their bicycle.  New research by scholars at University of Bath and Brunel University* suggests that wearing noticeable clothes not only did nothing for getting motorists to back off, but when cyclists wore a “POLITE notice, Pass Slowly” vest, they were more likely to be harassed.

Perhaps wearing camouflage like this fellow shown here this fellow shown here might be the way to go.
