Cycling Tip for Road Cyclists: Wear a Neon Yellow Compression Sock | Bike Safety Tips |

Jim Dodson, The Florida Bike Guy talks about one thing road cyclists could wear to increase their visibility while riding. This bike safety tip is something that he thinks is really a terrific accessory. It's a compression sleeve for your calf made by Zensah. It goes from your ankle up to below the knee. It fits very tightly like a compression sock would but it's extremely comfortable. The thing that Jim loves about it is the neon yellow color. He believes this is one thing cyclists could wear to increase their visibility to drivers because the motion of your leg as you ride creates what scientists call biomotion. This is something that a driver can see and recognize a cyclist right away. This compression sock cost about $40 to $50 and you can find it online.

Jim's, message is, "I want to be seen which is why I wear yellow from head to toe." Jim is in no way associated with this product, he just wants cyclists to be safe out there while riding.

Maximum visibility! I like it!!! Folks want to look skinny by wearing black, but that's deadly and terrifying on the road. Sunglasses wearing cyclists wearing dark clothes, suffer extreme terror and make the elderly crap themselves.
