Each of us will bring to a discussion our interests, our experiences and in many cases our ignorance or bias.

This thread is about understanding that bicyclists need to be "noticed" in daylight as well as poorly lit roads.

I expanded the discussion to remind readers that readers that good lights and "brightness" of a given light hardly provides safety from all threats.

The answer to the original post is as simple as outfitting your bicycle to mimic the lighting of a modern automobile. (or imagine your lights to be "speakers" for you on the road!!)

But what I can't spell out is the mix of dangerous experiences and thousands of miles of night riding that led me to make comments like this.
