yay, and I just got a new neon yellow modular helmet. Oh well. I decked it out with 3m reflective tape in a classic, yet stylish pattern of my own devising. I haven't noticed any difference from the people in cars, but I like it anyway. Plus, I like to switch helmets day to day so they can air out. Amazing how even if it's 35F (about 2C,) my head sweats.
