I suspect someone will honk the living day lights out of this woman and she'll either get a rear blinky or stop cycling completely at night.

I have seen blinkies hanging from backpacks that were aimed at the ground and nearly invisible. You have to be careful when hanging blinkies. I prefer mine mounted to something and aimed at where the drivers eyes will be myself.
