why, they're more clearly seen by cross traffic, datajunkie!
i think visibility does SCADS more than lane position as we begin to commute into the dark months..... i've often times poised these types of questions around this forum, about lane position versus visibility devices, and which is more effective for early recognition by drivers, but get little from the resident grand poohbah of lane positioning himself.
no comment. its as if, admiting visibility works better than positioning is impossible for him to actually utter. its against his grey poupon imaginings from his armchair world.
i agree, the visibility of a bicyclist is MUCH MORE APPARANT, and from a much greater distance, than any lane positioning nuance. and ESPECIALLY at night or twilight....
