Yes! I have one that I wear for late afternoon/sunset/twilight rides. It's ugly as hell, but glows like Technicolor. Better to be a live Fred than dead "contender." All of my cycling jerseys, whether bike specific or generic sports shirts, are bright red, yellow or orange. I want to be seen. Even with that, I have more close calls than I would like.
