The other night as I was riding my bike, lit up like a Christmas tree, I wondered if perhaps cyclists should wear red and blue lights, instead of red and white lights.
The natural instinct of most motorists when they see flashing red and blue lights is to slow down, and that is the desired outcome for safety on the road as a cyclist!
Leveraging an existing instinct response can be useful.
