Here Is the BMC Teammachine SLR01 Disc [1]
which is an example of what I have seen many
times now in the "cycling press", and that is
to have the frame in one (and only one) bright
color, and then everything else in gray or most
often black!

Very ugly IMO. Black is the most boring and
depressing color which is why kids are afraid
of the dark and people wear black at funerals.

Motorcycle accident statistics hint that a black motorcycle with rider in
black leathers is less likely to get a SMIDSY.

Cant remember having seen a black bicycle - so there probably isn't any
data.



Sure, if the leathers have "Hell's Angels" emblazoned across the back,
otherwise I'm not so sure about that factoid.

You've probably nailed it - but a motorcyclist can be adequately sinister
without being a member of anything.

Safety in numbers doesn't always work either - there are clips of
motorcyclists out on a run getting rammed by some nutter in a SUV.

Numbers don't seem to count any more. The other day we had a
motorcycle run smack dab into the side of a train hauling 50 cars.

With the expected result.
