He was wearing one of those bright orange hunting vests and you couldn't
miss seeing him. Why don't they all do that or at least paint their helmet
hunter orange?

Why don't you paint, "Highway killing machine," on that beater of
yours.

OBTW, I don't wear a helmet when bicycling.

Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS (a.k.a. SFB) admits to being
a deadly speeder, psychopath and criminal coddler:

"> Have you ever driven a car faster than the legal speed limit?

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5
years ago for doing 41 in a 25. I just about kicked the cops teeth in
cause i was sure he was lying. No way the SL on this wide open
stretch could be 25, i thought."

My wife made me a waterproof-breathable blaze orange cover for my
helmet. Not only increases visibility, but also keeps me warm in the
cold and dry in the rain. I ride a rail-trail through hunting areas.

suicidal--good hunters look for objects that are parallel to the ground such
as a deers back
there are a lot of hunters out there who in actuality want the chance to
kill the ultimate mammal--humans and of course get away with it
nb--i hunted literally every am--worked on resevations with open season all
the time
now i no longer hunt/fish

bright choices uot there. most don't wear them because of their "Fred
Factor".

If you have trouble seeing ordinary (non-orange) cyclists or
pedestrians in plenty of time, you're not driving responsibly. Try
slowing down and paying more attention.

Yes, all of the cyclists in my area are responsible and never, ever do
stuff like riding after dark without lights and wearing dark and/or
non-reflective clothing. (snort)

Frank, the population of drivers and the population of riders are both
statistical distributions (bell curve). By making yourself more visible, a
you put yourself on a better part of your curve, so it is less likely that
you will have a problem with a drivers on the bad part of their curve.

It would help if the cyclists would obey the laws and stop running red
lights and stop driving on the left side of the road. Cyclists are always
showing up where they're not supposed to be and that's why drivers don't
see them.

I don't disagree with that. And if a cyclist chooses to be extra-
visible, I certainly won't object. However, as long as the cyclist is
legal, he has no obligation to dress funny so motorists can exert less
care.

Lights and reflectors at night? Sure. Day-glo orange when riding to
work? No. It's the driver's responsibility to see where he's going,
see who or what is on the road, and control his vehicle accordingly.
