OK the strobes are running well on the front and back. I put a switch and the heat sync on also. We walked the bike out to the corner and while my husband held the bike, I walked away.

Although it flashed brightly, at any distance, you could not tell that the vehicle was bicycle. The flash did not illuminate the red 3M diamond on the fenders or white reflectant pinstripe on the wheels.

Definately visible, but I'll bet on coming traffic will have trouble determining my speed.
Any suggestions on how to make it recognizable as a bike?

Edited: I fixed the bracket on have a Performance Flare so it will stay lit for the duration of the ride. But the back strobe washes out the Flare.
