I do use some clip on blinkies (PDW and/or Cygolite Hotshot) if I am riding in heavy fog, just because it seems like a good idea.


My post was for those who are paranoid about 'being seen'. The same folks with multiple tail lights and a Tim Allen 'more power' fetish. For those they should seriously consider blue flashing lights (if legal in their state) since nothing gets a motorists attention like blue flashing lights. If I can ever find a commercial blinky that is either blue or easily modified, I may get it, just for those occasional heavy fog mornings.
This is bad advice!

There's a reason blue lights aren't readily available to the public. There probably isn't a state in the union where they are legal.
