Yup, I like the idea above to use the rear rack light for illuminating cyclists back. Perhaps a light with two leds, one pointing forwards and another one towards the rear? For the front perhaps it makes sense to play a bit with a helmet or baseball cap visor.. Not sure.

I commute in particularly dark area where any light is better than no light. Damn, I have to try it. Cold white LED will give quite a ghosty appearance..

For the critical mass ride I may use examples from the wildlife....



Actually i like the OP's idea about vertical lights too, another day I met a couple of cyclists who had handlebar lights mounted over the fork mounted dynamo light. Simultaneous wobbling of the lights has definitely drawn my attention
