Should note front
and rear lights. I've had a few close calls with people who don't use front lights. Visibility in a panel van is bad enough without having to try to figure out if the bicycle with no front light I passed 1/4 mile back has caught up with me due to the stoplights.
I dunno everyone around here only uses rear lights.
The few front lights I've seen are always in blink mode which is amazingly annoying. And I don't mean that in a good way. You might be thinking "good that means you see me." But it's more of a I can't tell how far away and how fast it's moving type of annoying. I mean I can make a rough estimate but a lot harder to judge than that of a light that's always on like on a motorcycle or car.
