Why does the rider need to be visible? Surely if the bike is visible that is enough. Part of why my bike has bright lights on it. You can't see me? Sure, but you can see the bike, avoid that and everything is fine.
But what if the rider gets off the bike? Then he could suddenly become invisible!
Then you just become a pedestrian, it is illegal to run them over too.
A lot of people park their cars on the "bicycle boulevard" that I live on, in order to visit businesses on the street a block over. Then they get out wearing all black and cross the street, and they're very-nearly invisible. I think we should have a law that drivers must wear hi-viz at all times, in case they need to get out of their cars.
(And helmets. Drivers should wear helmets. Head injuries from car crashes are still a serious problem.)
