I agree. I want to mention that year before last, I completely changed the way I approach and travel through intersections, due to the frequency of cars turning right into the intersection and then into my path. I in traffic, I always try to follow other cars through the intersection, placing my self in the left lane of a four lane road, preferable with a car on my right and a car in front. This means that I've had to slow down considerably and actually travel the speed limit and accelerate in granny mode, but I figure I'm safer by placing these cage obstacles around me, in between me and the other cagers that are trying to kill me. I used to have a "Stridelite" safety sash that flashed blue light, like a giant Timex Indiglo watch, but it gave up the ghost after riding in the rain one night, and the company was no help at all in replacing it. Does anyone know of a similar product? It was a reflective sash and belt, not a vest. When it worked, it worked awesomely. Jeff> laying down is almost always my 3rd choice. > >
