After a brief romance with pink and sky blue, cycling fashion turned back to its 1980’s day-glo roots. In 2011, neon color was back in the peloton— not just for safety, but for fashion and style. Bicycle makers and cycle-fashion companies alike have accented their product lines with stylish visibility.
