But, things as they are, it's probably prudent to avoid wearing entirely dark colours when possible, particularly at this time of year.
When I was a kid, we were admonished to always have reflectors attached to our coats (back then the coats themselves weren't reflective yet). A kid in dark clothing is really not very visible on a dark street.
Nor is a bicyclist in dark clothing and without lights, to bring this back to the forum topic.
