I have had friends & family comment similarly.
New to me on this uptown is reflective sidewalls. Really useful at intersections & in parking lots at night. Of course pedal reflectors, and a white spoke mounted reflector stock on front wheel. When i get some real money together, i plan to add some visibility aids on the back, namely a chainstay mounted slow blinker, and on the front, a cheapie battery light to fill the illumination gap from the stock headlamp's beam to the front of the wheel for better road chasm detection.
