I agree that being visible is smart. I commute year round, and my cycling wardrobe now includes almost all hi-vis and reflective attire, as well as on my bikes. My bikes have front and rear 180 blinkies attatched as well on my helmet. In bright sunlight I feel confident I can be seen without my lights on. On overcast days, at dawn and at dusk, and of course at night I turn on my lights.

While I ride and drive I look at other bicyclists and compare how they dress, reflect and light compared to me and my setup. I am confident about my visibility in daylight without lights on.
