Best Color Bicycle Helmet for Visibility |
What is the Best Color Bicycle
Helmet?
According to bicycle accident reconstructionist James Green, the
best colors of bicycle helmets are yellow, orange and green.
Florescent colors are the best because they are most visible to
drivers. Green sites research that suggests the above colors
increase a motorist's perception distance by as much as 600
feet. Colors such as black, grey, and white tend to blend into
the background and are not as visible to drivers.
For the best visibility, look into getting a high vis jacket or
vest with reflectors similar to the jackets worn by road
construction crews.
