Edit: to clarify: the message in the ad is actually ironic/satirical, mocking the advice for cyclists to wear high-viz at night.

It uses the same logic but inverts the parts and responsabilities, by suggesting to motorists (not cyclists) to apply bright paint on their cars.

So this ad is not pro or against high-viz, it’s against victim blaming

    Goddamn, forgot that the USA considers bikes as exercise machines.

    Your standard commuter bike has lights, and is required by law to have it in most countries.
