Rule 14 established that cyclists should be made to wear hi-viz (amongst other things), but this rule is dedicated to the growing trend of wearing black or dark lycra.
The basis being it acts as some form of magic cloak, making them incredibly hard to see. I mean, how do expect us to rock out a drum solo to Phil Collins on the steering wheel AND pay enough attention to spot these camouflaged pedallers.
If they are wearing a black shirt, that is enough to warrent use of this rule. Any attempt for the cyclist to be more visible (lights, reflectors, hi-viz helmet / shoes etc.) should be disregarded.
