You might appear rather strange looking, but you'll be able to see the
moving black holes on bicycles before you hit them.

Black lycra matters, too!


"Car crash by colour"
https://www.moneysupermarket.com/car-insurance/articles/car-crash-by-colour/
"One study concluded that black cars are 47% more likely to be
involved in road accidents than vehicles of other colours.
(...)
During daylight hours, black cars were up to 12% more likely
be involved in crashes than white vehicles."

For the ultimate in invisibility, you need Vantablack,
https://www.surreynanosystems.com/super-black-coatings/vantablack-s-vis
which offers a non-reflective black that can also become invisible in
the infrared spectrum:

Not only will you be invisible to ordinary drivers, but you also will
not appear on the LADAR of driverless cars.
