I flash front and rear when riding on city streets. If I'm out on a suburban road with lower light levels, I'll switch to steady front, but usually leave the rear flashing.
Yes, this me as well. Flash front and rear. I ride city commuting. Street lights are usually good enough for seeing the road. My blinkys front and rear are so others see me. And I'm careful to not point the headlight too high. I want to be ID'd as a bike by that blinking, NOT as a car with one headlight out.
