This made me recall an incident when I first started riding on city streets. It was late autumn and the weather was cooling down. I had on black tights, an bright orange under-armour long sleeve base layer, and a Primal short sleeve jersey with a red, orange, and yellow flame motif. I never noticed anyone looking at me until some kid yelled out, "Look at that, that man is on fire!" It made me laugh out loud.
