Here's a couple of shots of one of my high viz overjackets... Despite having a white bike, I'm NEVER tempted to wear it when I'm riding





I'm well and truly in the "Polite vest wearers are tts; avoid" camp.

If you change your mine be sure to wear a hunter's cap whilst carrying a very large magnifying glass.

Otherwise you may get confused with the other low life.

I'll bear it in mind... Not very undercover though!

It won't be long until there's a "Polite Detective" jacket.

If there ever is, they will discover I am be less than polite towards people wearing those type of vests.

And you think that jacket is?


I've got a couple of mates who bought some ex police waterproofs to wear over their bike kit. Bright yellow with a couple of bits of Battenberg but no police logos. Stopped in a layby for a break with them in bright yellow and me in a black jacket and trousers and I felt more of a tit than they did as everyone driving past would have assumed I'd been nicked
