  1. As all good cyclists know, wearing high vis clothing & reflectives renders one completely invisible
    to SMIDSYs... I was wondering, would this have the opposite effect?

    Well, I can still see the cyclist :-)

    Odd really, you'll be virtually invisible as long as the enemy are looking at you through the
    special system he has developed. If they look at you without his camera you'll be there!

    You'd need very strange bars if you were going to cycle in a garment that held your arms out at that
    angle, too.

    And I thought I was the only one to have spotted the flaw ;-)

    Yeah, but motorists will be able to buy this special devices to let them see hazards beyond
    the next car.

    1. Any pilot who needs to see through the floor of the cockpit to be able to land his plane would
    seriously worry me!!

    2. Science fiction becomes science fact (again).....memories of Predator here, although the
    irridescent green effect would have shone in the jungle!!

    Yeah, right. Like they will be able to buy windows so they can see hazards nearer than the next
    car, you mean?

    I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
    about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
    wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.

    LOL, so if being invisible means glowing bright green, I have some tins of invisibility paint going
    cheap .. ish ... 😉
