I am still a newbie at commuting, but I'm quickly learning about seeing/being seen better.

Lighting (seeing)
I'm currently running a Cygo-Lite Night Rover Xtra. It seems to fill my needs but I will be experimenting with some of the ideas in the Total Geekness thread.

Being seen
I have:
  • Reflective Tape all over my bike (see blurry attachment)
  • Squares of white reflective tape on my white helmet
  • A Cateye blinky mounted on my rear rack.
  • UV TireFlys on my valve stems.
  • Niteize Marker Bands on my backpack (I just got panniers so these will probably move to my arms)

I probably look insane, but as one of my co-workers put it, if someone hits me, the crash should be considered foul play
