Since I started commuting to work this year my wife has been on me to add lights to my bike and start donning one of those neon construction worker vests. I have resisted until now, but after getting hit by a car last week I'm rethinking my position. Luckily I survived with only a few scrapes and bruises, but it was obvious that the driver never saw me.

My problem with adding things like lights and reflectors is that they seem to be a solution for night time visibility. What about the daytime? I'm reading mixed things about the effectiveness of neon clothing and I'm not sure what other options are out there. i'd love to hear what more experienced riders are doing.
