Default Helmet Color

Has anyone seen any studies or have any ideas on which color of helmet might get the attention of cage drivers the best. I want to take reasonable precautions to aid in them seeing me.

Default RE: Helmet Color

Found a poll...And it backs up what I said in the other post. http://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1730
Webbikeworld says that a "bright" colored helmet is the most visible meaning a flourescent color. They might have a point. Who's for flourescenst helmets?

There's another threat about this same thing tonight. Go to www.webbikeworld.com and read what they say about color. Their recommendation is 'safety orange or safety yellow'.

Take care.
