[*BCM*] Awareness Test

[Jon Ramos]

I still stand by my comment about all cyclists wearing neon and helmets... and also all cars being neon, and pedestrians wearing neon and helmets, and all things being padded so that nobody ever gets hurt.  Because after all... people cant be expected to be observant, let alone think and react.  
 
Here is an ACTUAL PROPOSAL in England to put padding on stationary objects... you just cant make this crap up!

watch the video again, but count the number of passes among the team in black.  you will see the bear immediately, because he gets in the way of watching the players in black (because the bear is also black).  does this tell you to wear bright colors? maybe.  then you would stand out among either the black or the white.  but what it might tell you instead is to fit your appearance into what the motorist is looking for (or "expecting to see").  ride with traffic, assert a position well into the traffic lane, etc.
