I have been bicycle commuting for two years. I live two miles from work. We have one car. Life is easy and beautiful.

We are moving eight miles out in the country. The road to town is a shoulderless highway that seems dangerous to be commuting on a 6:30 in the morning. I might have to buy a second car. Blah!

I've been kicking around the idea of spending $1,000 on safety/commuting accessories that will easy my mind and my wife's mind about the safety of this ride. I have all of the basics (fenders, pump, winter tires, rain suit, basic lights, etc). If you had $1,000 to make sure that every car withing ten miles could see/hear you coming, what would you buy?

Thanks!
