THIS! Of course. Criminy. Did it really take 80 posts before we got this wisdom?? I wish the cyclists with money burning holes in their pockets would consider that cyclists with a LOT less disposable income can, and do, commute safely to work (and other places) and back. I mean... I could spend $99 on a rear flasher but it isn't going to keep me warm, or dry. For $89 I can buy a hi viz soft shell that will make me visible AND warm And dry. With the leftover ten dollars I can buy a Viewpoint blinky that strobes to alert the motorist to my presence. For another $10 (optional) I can buy a flashing arm band that can be seen from a full 180 degrees.
