It’s the back of 7am. The guy in the hi-viz jacket, bright orange with reflective panels, weaves back and forth, round pot-holes, on his bicycle, cars swerving round him. He is wearing camouflaged green combat trousers, his legs pumping away. The contrast between the high visibility jacket and low visibility trousers strikes me as an irony as I pass him and I wonder if he is conscious of it.
