So, what do you recommend? A helmet light? A reflective vest? Better head and tail lights? (Please be specific if you have light recommendations.) What about the trailer? Any good ideas for lighting the sides, or running lights up the flagpole somehow?
Whatever you do, please make sure they're aimed correctly. I was on our local MUP a couple of nights ago, and passed a couple of different people with extremely bright lights that totally wiped out my night vision. Nothing like trying to pass someone on a narrow MUP when you're completely blinded by glare.
