Interesting noting all the people who like pedal/ankle reflectors. I have come to the conclusion that the former are entirely useless, and the latter are probably sketchy at best - on my bike at least. Of course, I'll admit that my four panniers which I never ride without have something to do with that. I do have various reflective strips on my panniers, which I expect do a pretty decent job of spelling "unusual" at first sight.

My tail lights, on the other hand, have been reported to me as "very good" and "easy to see from a long way away" without my prompting the statement. A genuine automotive brake light (in tail light mode with the brake mode working as designed for the front brake), and using a truck marker light with 180 degree visibility above. I also have a 3" red automotive reflector in between the two. The reflector is indeed quite bright, and the reflective material on my bags seems to be as well, but it is the lights I trust most.
