It was just a bright blinking light about 6 feet off the ground on the side of the road
there was nothing reflecting off of the bike or person for reference to tell me BICYCLIST
I feel I should have known instantly what I was looking at
being that I commute also on a regular basis
If you don't bike with that kind of setup, or know someone who does, how would you know? And yep, it's a startling sight, which is why I roll that way as well. Cygolite 400 on the helmet on flash, bar mounted headlight on steady, one rear light on a rolling blink, one extremely bright tail light on steady. I get the 'WTH' are you look at night all the time!!
