oh sorry what I meant was. I don't wear a "kit" I wear hi-vis (goofy old-man lime-green & strobes) and a lot of urban bikers don't. you know, the youngins ... which is ironic cuz the more traffic you're in the more you want to be seen. I guess cool out trumps safety. I have alterted my colors since then though so I'm still standing out, just not like a green thumb!
On my outbound weekday early morning commute, I'd say that most cyclists, from Kenmore to Norwood are wearing fluorescent lime green (though I wear lemon yellow). I'd say the youngins (especially ninjas and hipsters) don't come out until evening.

"Suits" are out on mid-days during the week.
