Hi Metro Commuter,


Been lurking on here a bit but thought i'd reply to this. I'm a keen rider /commuter but do not race .

I'm a regular commuter travelling along the pacific hwy. Over the years have worn different cycling gear including hi-vis jacket, especially for winter.

I stopped doing this as I experienced more driver abuse, things thrown at me and general level of aggro when wearing hi-vis gear.
I've since reverted to normal cycle clothing ( fairly colourful though) and   standard lights and  still cop some idiots but does not seem as bad.

So with hi-vis clothing drivers must notice me more, which is good, but not if there going to abuse me.

Cheers
