I’ve been hit too many times, but I still don’t want to ride dressed like a Christmas tree - this is the cycling safety gear I actually use
From tasteful apparel to cameras and light-up pedals, these are the products that help me feel seen
In the aftermath of a T-bone collision caused by a driver who failed to notice the cyclist, the reporter has changed his approach to cycling safety gear. Instead of donning a Christmas tree of neon lights and reflective materials, he now opts for a brightly coloured, performance-focused jersey from Castelli's Espresso collection.
This summer-weight long-sleeve jersey in a vibrant purple not only stands out on the road but also feels comfortable, breathable and stylish. The shorter front, lower collar, and structured rear pockets add practicality, while the Air_O stretch fabric ensures all-day comfort. For warmer days, the short-sleeved Giro pink version of the Espresso 2 W Jersey is a feminine alternative that remains visible.
The reporter emphasizes that safety equipment should be functional, comfortable, and unobtrusive to enhance the overall cycling experience.
