What baron von trail said (#5), plus one: wear bright clothing.
I look like a clown when I ride; bright shirt, bright green helmet, very bright and blinking tail light, bright head light, reflectors and so on.
I cannot count the number of times folks have 'looked again' in their hurry to get to work or their kids to school because I stand out like a sore thumb. Bright clothing works; it is my most effective safety measure.
