Just a very quick one today, but spring’s here and that means the buds on the hedgerows are starting to burst with the vivid green leaves again. And that Saturn yellow vest you’ve been wearing all winter? It’s now acting more like camouflage than a conspicuity aid.

Check out the photo, clipped from a BikeSafe page. Spot the bikes. Does one rider and machine stand out rather better than the other two? Is one bike harder to spot than the other two? It’s thanks to the grass bank, and the effect of contrast. And just wait till the hedgerow in the background comes into leaf!

My personal recommendation for rural riding at this time of the year is always pink but I can understand if you don’t fancy that colour. Try orange instead!
