I realized how much more colorful my relationship with my bike is than any relationship with motor vehicles I&#8217;ve owned. (I&#8217;m not one of those people who names her cars and they&#8217;ve all been very ordinary colors&#8211;white, green, blue).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">My blue road bike&#8217;s lime green handlebar tape reflects my fondness for various shades of that color. They&#8217;re newly wrapped and the color is so intense it glows a bit, especially on an overcast day like today that provides a contrast. The bike itself isn&#8217;t a special color; it&#8217;s a middle-of-the-road blue with white accents that my sweetheart picked out for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Bikes offer color possibilities in accessories as well as handlebar tape. When I ordered custom bike bags from Swift Industries (handmade in Seattle), I thought about the color combination in terms of a future touring bike I might own, which would have to be a color that goes with the bags. If I already owned said bike it would be the other way around; I like things to match.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>Picking colors for a couple of bags by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SwiftIndustries\">@swiftindustries<\/a>.

Belles and Baskets co-founder Betsy Lawrence gets purple accessories to go with her purple bike, which she purchased because purple is one of her favorite colors. Even before my husband was on a race team, he chose a yellow helmet that went with the black and yellow of the road bike had then, and of course every team kit has a lot of thought put into the color and design. Color is such an expression of individualism via the bicycle.<\/p>\n<p>Not that bike manufacturers give us all that many choices, mind you. There&#8217;s the sadly mistaken notion that simply painting a bike pink makes it appeal to women, for starters. Then you have the fairly limited range of color options in bike gear.<\/p>\n<p>If I walk into Nordstrom&#8217;s to get a sweater&#8211;or into the men&#8217;s section to buy a tie&#8211;I have many color choices and they&#8217;re keeping up with fashion trends. An entire industry exists to forecast our colors and create those trends (explaining the tragic avocado green kitchen appliance era). So why is it that if I walk into most bike shops I&#8217;ll be able to choose from somewhere around 4-5 helmet colors (two of which will be black and white) and about the same number of bike frame colors (ditto)?<\/p>\n<p>Companies like Nutcase and Bern are tapping into the desire for more individual expression through helmet color and design; I predict (hope for) many more color options in the future for every part of my bike.\u00a0The handlebar tape makers have it figured out&#8211;I could get tiger stripes or hot pink\/light pink leopard spots if I liked that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>(As an aside, I joke that bicycling is the only endeavor in which men have long had more color options in clothing than women. That was before <a title=\"Nuu-Muu: Exercise dresses for women on the go, made in Bellingham, WA\" href=\"http:\/\/nuu-muu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nuu-Mu<\/a>u, a Bellingham company, started making great active-wear dresses designed for biking and running.)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">I notice color more while riding since I have time to observe. The pale green of spring leaves now will deepen over the summer until it shades into the fall palette of yellow, orange, bronze, red, and brown. The spots of color that were emerging buds a couple of weeks ago are flowers now.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">The color of the sky varies with season as well as with time of day.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">A flash of color catches my eye and I notice the vivid coat on someone waiting at the crosswalk (and because I&#8217;m on my bike I can call out &#8220;Beautiful coat!&#8221; and be rewarded with a smile, because who doesn&#8217;t love an unexpected compliment on his\/her color sense?).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Blue bike, blue bike rack\" href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/iQznZv7gjF\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0<\/a>I suppose a bike post on color wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a mention of high-visibility (hi-viz) clothing and accessories. Here it is: They&#8217;re ugly. No one looks good in that lemony yellow-green. I&#8217;ve seen the studies that demonstrate hi-viz effectiveness in catching the eye so I&#8217;m not arguing against their use, but I ride in street clothes. It&#8217;s sheer coincidence that my beloved lime green is a hi-viz color.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Reading<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"30 Days of Biking, 30 Words, 30 Pictures: Day One\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/04\/01\/30-days-biking-30-words-30-pictures-day-one\/\">30 Days of Biking, 30 Words, 30 Pictures: Day One&#8211;Fun<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"30 Days of Biking, Day Two: Flexibility\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/04\/02\/30-days-biking-day-two-flexibility\/\">30 Days of Biking, Day Two&#8211;Flexibility<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Your Turn<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Did you have much choice of colors when you got your bike?
