Reddit mentions of Neiko 53941A High Visibility Safety Vest, Large, Neon Yellow

One does not invalidate the other.

Yes drunk driving is awful and should be punished harshly.

But that doesn't mean someone wearing all black crossing the middle of the road at 10pm is completely not at fault. Personal responsibility is a thing. When I go for a run I have a reflective vest. They cost $7.00

Do I look a little silly? Yes. You know what looks even worse? My brains on the pavement.

I commute to work at night as well. I use a Cygolite Expillion 350 headlight on the front and two Planet Bike Superflash taillights on the back. I also wear a yellow traffic safety vest with retro-reflective stripes.

I have been riding at night for more than a year now without incident. I have been told by a coworker who passed me riding to work at night that he could see me a half mile away, lit up and glowing like a Christmas tree. All of this stuff will cost about $100, but it could save your life.

I suck at photoshop.

Not trying to start a protest but, https://smile.amazon.com/Neiko-53941A-Visibility-Safety-Yellow/dp/B0030AA3YK/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=yellow+vest&qid=1555531309&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Here's the $8.50 version that I got on amazon. Useful if you are nowhere near an Ikea but are in amazon's shipping zone.

My Dad and his group of friends play the highest score on each hole has to wear a reflective safety vest (http://www.amazon.com/Neiko-Visibility-Yellow-Zipper-Reflective/dp/B0030AA3YK/ref=lp_553620_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1426830551&sr=1-1) for the next hole. It's quite the badge of shame!

I usually don't go skating at night but when I do

1. Reflective vest (the type used on construction sites)

2. Clip on LED
   
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072J495YV/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   I clip the LED to the back of my helmet. I have a triple eight helmet that has two tiny holes in the back of the helmet.
   
   The LED I bought above is super bright. I can vouch for it. It has 3 settings - constant light, flashing twice a second, and flashing once time a second.
   
   The sidewalks and roads are well lit around my area so I don't need a light to see where I'm going.
   
   I agree with others that the best lighting for nighttime is LED wheels. There's no way someone wouldn't be able to notice you're roller skating on with LED wheels.

This scanner im using is from 2004 and is really washing out the colors. :|

You'll find most if you look for "reflective green tape". Most types have a sort of diamond pattern on the tape. I'm guessing this would do: http://www.amazon.com/TapeCase-3277-Green-Reflective-Tape/dp/B007Y7HWMQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453386782&sr=8-2&keywords=reflective+green+tape
This one will most likely work too (better at closerange, worse at distance): http://www.amazon.com/TapeCase-3437-Green-Reflective-Tape/dp/B007Y7IRSY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1453386782&sr=8-3&keywords=reflective+green+tape
Don't get the tape that appears to be very lightgreen. Darker green is better. In my limited testing with tapes, without a diamond pattern works better for closerange, but this isn't conclusive and with some adjustment might even work well at large distances. I've improved a lot in the algorithms as well; if you like to test get without diamond pattern as secondary.
Alternatively, get a green light filter, put it over the flash and use plain white/silver reflective material (I've got similar materials in small localshops. The filter you get at officesupplies, the grey/white/silver reflective material from a $5 safety vest or just as tape):

Don't spend more than a few bucks on the material unless you verified that it works well. It's really all cheap stuff, but people tend to overprice and sell it bulk. A good way to test if the stuff works in store, is to load the apk on your phone and see if it tracks the marker in the store. If you're not shy of compiling, compile the apk with SHOW_CAMERA set to false in Config.java for a good debugging view of reflectivity.
Edit: Also, if you're testing in store, check for return angles. This means if you view at an angle of 45 degrees, see if that works well and so on.

one neon vest
plus one hard hat
and a pair a jeans you can say your a county worker...that required to take union breaks or part of the village people...your choice lol

You can get an ANSI/ ISEA 107-2010 high-vis vest on amazon for $7. Just slips over whatever you're wearing and you can shove it in your panniers/pockets when you're not riding.

I have experienced many collisions with cars as a cyclist. Sometimes I have been nice and "let them off with a warning" so to speak. I have always ended up wishing I could hold those drivers accountable for my losses later, when the adrenaline wore off and I was feeling less charitable. You say your back wheel is rolling fine, but unless it's exactly as straight as it was before, you have experienced a loss. Your wheels, and your knees, only have so many hits in them. My advice if you experience a collision with a car:

Don't make any promises or definitive statements while under the effects of adrenaline. Qualify anything you say with vague statements about doctors or lawyars. Lawyers? Yawlerws? My spellcheck's busted. Damn noscript probably.

Definitely make them stop exactly where they are, put the car in park, and turn off the engine. If they don't do this when you tell them to, cut their tires to prevent hit-and-run with your handy carry knife. If you even let them pull off the road, they might just drive away and leave you holding the bill for your wheels, legs, frame, spine, helmet, and skull. You're allowed to use reasonable force to detain them while you gather their information or wait for police to verify their insurance status.

Once you have their driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance card in your hand, let them drive off the road. Car people behind them are probably honking mad by now. How dare you inconvenience a car person! Car people are very important.

If they have those documents and everything looks legit, continue on your errand and call their insurance company at a time convenient for you. The driver will probably use this as a lesson to drive safer i.e. actually come to a stop where required, so they won't immediately need those documents. You can retain them for now.

If they are missing any of those documents, call the police (non-emergency) and get the driver checked for warrants and their insurance verified by a cop.

> But I wasn't prepared with the exact right words as I was all adrenaline and no brains. What should I have said?

It helps to have a script. I'm so used to yelling “you too” it's just instinct now. Your line after you drop your bike right in front of their car and walk up to the driver's window is “Put the car in park, please. Turn off the ignition. Put the car in park, please. Give me your license, turn off the ignition right now, please. Give me your license, your registration, and your insurance card.” If you have to repeat that more than a couple of times, start cutting rubber. In the comic book version, you'd already have your giant wrench you carry everywhere in your other hand and you'd be breaking glass too. In real life, I don't know how you'll feel telling a jury you were forced to dent every body panel and break every window and light on car, in order to prevent hit and run, because you felt threatened. We can dream, anyway. Cutting their tires actually makes them stop though, so that's clear cut self defense.

Ask them if they're still living at the address listed on the license, like a cop does. It freaks them out. Be wearing rear view aviators and a construction vest and be chewing gum for maximum effect.

And as always, if you feel threatened, do whatever you have to do to defend yourself. The roads should be a safe space.
