## 1.  Wear hi-visibility color on your torso.
That really bright yellow/green color is best. The orange is pretty good, too. 

I've seen stuff that's striped in both colors or is primarily one with a some bands of the other, and that seems like probably the best option, so that you still stand out against a background that matches the hi-viz color.

Helmet and leg stuff wouldn't hurt, but will tend to be less effective than torso, since the helmet is fairly small and your legs are fairly low.

There's a lot of available options for getting hi-viz colors on your torso. Most include reflective bits. Things like: a [safety](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IDSUS8) [vest](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030AA3YK/), a [hi-viz safety triangle belt](http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/re5.htm), a hi-viz [cycling vest](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BLOU9C), a hi-viz [cycling jacket](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004N628TI), a hi-viz [cycling](http://www.elevengear.us/trafficmaster.html) [jersey](http://www.elevengear.us/coralsnake.html), a [hi-viz t-shirt](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00753NF2A), or even just a regular t-shirt in a bright visible color... Most bike-shops will have a hi-viz jersey and hi-viz cycling vest or cycling jacket available. "Work wear" shops that sell uniforms and other work-clothes will often stock a variety of high-visibility stuff.

### 2. Attach hi-visibility colors to the bike.

A safety triangle hanging from the back of the saddle. A bag under your saddle in a hi-viz color. Hi-viz colored panniers. Hi-viz colored reflective tape on your fenders or other parts of the bike.

This will be lower and smaller than on your torso, but couldn't hurt.

### 3. Bright flashing lights

You need unusually bright lights for them to have a chance of being at all useful in full daylight.

I have the Cygolite HotShot that won the [Tail light review](http://bicycles.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/tail-light-review/) on our blog. It's definitely visible in daylight when it's in a flashing mode. My 300 lumen headlight in flashing mode is also visible in daylight.

# 4. ***Ride visibly and predictably***

Ride where you'll be seen. Ride where cars will be looking for you. Don't ride in the gutter or hug the curb. Merge into the lane position a car would use to go straight when approaching a place that a car can turn across your path. Claim the lane when appropriate. Take a safe cycling course, or at least read up about [Vehicular Cycling](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_cycling).

This is probably actually the best thing to do.

### 5. Ride with other bicyclists.

Hard not to see a pack of 20 cyclists riding close together.
