This time of year they see SO many accidents.
Not too surprisingly I've had a number of people motorists and pedestrians alike compliment me on my lighting system.
I have had a couple of people comment that I look like an "alien" when I pass them. Along with the "you look like a Christmas tree" comments. But hey at least they see me and are acknowledging that they've seen me so that is a good thing.
Not too surprisingly I've also have had a few motorists who were waiting to pull out onto the road that I am on wait for me to pass even when I've been a block or better away from the intersection.
The sad thing though is that even with all the lights I have on my bike. As I've said I've got four CatEye Uno's on the front and three CatEye 3/5 LED taillights as well as a CatEye Rapid 3 taillight mounted on the left side of my bike as a kind of running light.
