Agreed. While I don't actually have jerseys, I have 3 wicking shirts that I use on my rides. All are flourescent colors, orange, green, and yellow. Think about the color of safety vests, and you know what colors that I'm talking about. I also have matching wicking socks. I got all of these at TJ Maxx. I call them my Obnoxiously Loud Biking gear. I wanted to make sure that people could see me on the road. And with these colors, if they don't see me, they're blind or not paying attention, and there's nothing I could do. I actually had my wife see how far across the store she could see me with my choices.
