Thank you. They made us wear them because we are just nutty enough to ride a tandem!

Actually, they are made by Coolibar of 50SPF material and are fairly cool in the summer even with long sleeves. I had been wearing a sky-blue shirt but a few years ago a neighbor who also rides passed me one day and said I blended in with the summer greens. And when I started thinking about color options I noticed that against autumn foliage day-glo orange and to a lesser extent even day-glo green disappears. So I figured platinum white might be distinctive. So far, so good. No one has mistaken me for a tree.
