Forget about being visible, how do I see the road? I had a particularly wet, foggy commute a few weeks ago; there were patches where I could barely see the road. It was extremely dark on the highway, no street lights, so I had to provide all the light, and of course my headlight only bounced back at me. The fog was so wet I had to take my glasses off, making visibility even worse, especially when I hit the gauntlet (i.e. the line of eucalyptus that drop seed casings, leaves, twigs, branches and the occasional limb right on the shoulder). In fact, I'm not entirely sure how I made it to work alive!
Do you think a headlight on my fork would help?
