Dude you are at the Army Safety Mecca (Ft Rucker)...do some rolling burnouts down to the Safety Office and go see a crusty CW5 and get his take on this, but make sure you have your PT belt on...for Safety!!!

Honestly, I don't know if it would help or not? The only times would be good, would be for oncoming traffic (cars making left turns in front of you or at night), but otherwise people that merge into your lane, rear end you, or something else, are just not paying attention and on their phone. Personally, I like Hi Res gear, but my girlfriend says she'll leave me if I start wearing it
Like the dumbass who tried to pin me against the pickup truck in the next lane yesterday when she suddenly decided she needed to go from the left lane to the right lane of Arapahoe (3 lanes) with me in the middle. Where was Boulder's finest? A mile or so up the road playing laser tag cash register. Public safety my ass.

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

i work on buckley afb im in the army, i was told by the safety officer that if i didnt have my vest on with all the other requirements, my family wouldnt get my life insurance if i died in a crash. so i stuff my vest in my inside jacket pocket when i canyon ride, so if i wreck hope fully someone will sling it over me before the cops come. but it doesnt help people see me, in fact i seem to have more close calls coming home from work with it on then when i dont have it on.

Saw the same thing yesterday. They have started picking up patrols at 84th & I25 because of the construction that has started there. Even though there was absolutely no work going on there yesterday, they were still out there looking for those double construction zone fines.

Kind of sounds like you were in her way? You should pay more attention to her needs. Didn't you get the memo that now states that 99% of Boulder drivers have the world revolve around them?
Yeah, sometimes I wish she wasn't a keeper!

You're right, it wouldn't have mattered. The SFB was looking at her cell phone, not the road. I could have been wearing a pink tutu, ri-res jacket with my hair on fire and she would have never known.
Never tried it, but I know some people who have.

Yeah the people's republic of boulder is not a fun place to ride in.... unless you want to die
Update on my previous post on the vests and being in the Military. The *Official* Guideline is BRIGHT clothing during daytime hours, (I wear nothing but bright white jackets) and reflective at night, which calls for the vest.

Rode last night at dusk with the GoPro, and I was amazed how the day-glo yellow just stands out.

I have 5-6 motorcycle jackets. Mostly black ones even though I think black is the dumbest color ever for motorcycle gear. It's hot and when someone does a quick "head check" to see if the lane is clear you blend in like a shadow.
I also have a "Stupid Bright" yellow jacket I bought just for commuting. I have to ride down I-70/270/I25 during rush hour traffic. The kind of traffic where you will end up in someone's blind spot no matter how hard you try not to. It's pretty obvious how much more visible I am with the yellow coat on vs the black ones. Kinda hate the coat, but have to admit you can be seen it it. Especially when people to the quicky look in the mirror, or head check before changing lanes.
Old Pic, but you get the point.
I can vouch for Cole's jacket's. We work in the same building, and his entire floor glows fluorescent green when he rides his bike to work
