Ever since I got knocked off the bike by a lifted Ford F-150 that did a "rolling stop" through a 4 way stop, I've preferred bikes with brighter colours. While the 2016 Giant Escape 2 City was a very nice bike, I thought its muted grey made it less visible than the flashier colours.
I saw a post in Craigslist seeking a trade of a 2019 Giant Escape 3 for a road bike. Due to lingering concussion issues from the truck encounter, I felt insecure on my Giant OCR 3, so I proposed a swap for the Escape. He lived about 5 km away, so we had a meet-up not too far away with a very low traffic rural road.
I sold the grey Escape City and kept the 2019 Escape 3. It's Flash Green, quite gaudy and hopefully more noticeable for inattentive drivers.
