PB Superflash is OK when it's dry -- I've killed two by letting them get wet. Check with your LBS to see what they recommend for bright enough to be seen from the rear, and get two. I like Cateye -- they've got waterproof down better than anybody else, IME. Run one steady, one blinking, so there's a chance you'll notice before it's too late when the batteries run down.
