I stick to paths as much as possible, but when I am in traffic, I always wear bright clothing. I have never been treated more respectfully as I was when I started wearing this American flag and USA shorts combo though. My riding bud who isn't really safety minded even commented how well the motorists were treating us the first time I rode with it. I think when they see it, it somehow humanizes the experience. I am no longer just this irritation they encounter or some Lance wannabe, I am a human. A human who loves this country.
