Glad I did that. I can be seen from the front for a decent distance. the cygolite is pretty bright in that position, horribly dim in it's dim setting. My rubber band style tail light can be seen for a lesser distance partly due to having it high on the seatpost at the moment. Also, neither light can tell the motorist exactly what I am. I'm thinking a pair of brighter rears hung on the panniers will help the rear be more visible.

As far as me being able to see ahead, 75 ft is about the best in pitch dark. I may up to a brighter front with more distance. But first, how much am I really going to be riding at night.
