Reader Giveaway: a see me wear? jersey

If you ride on the roads, being sure that drivers see you is probably a big concern. Earle Bower, avid cyclist and see me wear? founder, developed his product to help you do just that. ?I was shocked to learn how many riders are hit by drivers who didn?t see them in broad daylight. To address this issue, I developed the most vivid bicycle jerseys -- with fluorescent colors for ultimate visibility during daylight hours,? says Mr. Bower. ?Drivers are looking for other motor vehicles and not for cyclists who present a much smaller, narrower image. Our jerseys make riders more visible, particularly in shade or fading sunlight.?

See me wear? is a new line of cycling wear developed by Mr. Bower, a retired businessman and cyclist. Bower lives in North Carolina and rides year round. After several close calls with motorists, he realized that many drivers simply don?t see cyclists. Bower developed this new line of cycling wear specifically to provide for the greatest possible visibility.

Mr. Bower believes in cycling safely and that?s why he has offered one lucky Adventure Cycling reader, the brightest, smartest jersey on the road. The see me wear? jersey combines three brilliant colors, International Orange, Bright Yellow and Fire Engine Lime in an attractive chevron pattern. For the greatest possible visibility, the jersey is printed using fluorescent dyes which are particularly effective in shade and fading light.


A recent article in Bicycling magazine (December 2010 pg. 34) stated that, ?When cyclists wear fluorescent clothing, a driver?s perception distance (when drivers first see cyclists) increases from 400 feet to 2,200 feet during the day??

The jerseys are 100% poly for superior wicking, have a ½ length invisible zipper and three back pockets. 100% made in the USA, all profits go to support bicycle safety programs.

To be entered to win, simply leave a comment before midnight, MST on Sunday, 8/28/2011, telling us where we would see you wearing this jersey. Anonymous comments will not be eligible to win. The winner will be chosen at random on Monday and announced here.
