So "Pretend you're invisible" is silly. Instead, I'd recommend riding in a visible position in the lane, using lights at night, and be alert and ready to avoid motorists who fail to see you. These have worked for me for 40+ years.

Gee, I visited the site and all I saw was an add for a $5 discount on
a fifty dollar jersey and since I never wore a $50 shirt in my life I
decided that the site was for the wealthy enthusiast and left :-)

A bicycle jersey is not exactly the same thing as a shirt, but I do agree with your main point. Cycling clothing has gotten extremely costly. In fact, bicycle shops have gotten extremely costly. I guess sometime in the past 20 years the shops have decided they can’t compete with Wal-Mart and have gone after those folks with more money than brains, of which there never seems to be a shortage.
