High and bright enough with sufficient size/number to be seen from a good distance by a motor vehicle operator in at least the second vehicle that is tailgating the first, when both are fast approaching bicyclist in a traffic lane on a high speed road. A good countermeasure to the added risk to bicyclists riding on high speed (50+mph) presented from dumbass motorists who combine tailgating with last minute maneuvers to pass.

Does a contrarian xpert and/or his small band of followers still have any remaining influence to effect bicycling in your area? I would assume that in the past a coterie of
Bicycling Safety and Efficiency ideologues led by self appointed bicycling experts have instigated sad/negative consequences for improving the bicycling environment in your area.
