Safety first?

The weather in northwestern Canada and Alaska this time of year fluctuates considerably. But one thing you can definitely count on is rain. Everyone knows how bikers love rain, right? I've given rain-riding a lot of thought, and consider it's sorta like playing poker: it doesn't matter what you have...it's what your opponents think about your hand that matters. And I want them thinking about my hand (and arm, and leg, and head).

My rain suit, commonly called Frog Togs, are gray (or grey...the bloody dictionary really ought to make up its mind on this). Since it's usually overcast and gray/grey with restricted visibility during periods of rain, I'm not very comfortable with this. So, I've acquired some high reflective tape to affix to the top and pants leggins of the rain suit. I've also bought one of those bright yellow (Nor'easter deckhand) raincoats. I'm putting reflective tape on that as well. This ought to resolve the visibility issue.

Doesn't do much for my concern about visibility to the bears though. Like Fagan, in Oliver Twist, "I'm reviewing the situation."
