Avoid arteries

Serious lighting, flashing an uneven pattern

No salmoning

High vis colors are fluorescent in sunlight but do nothing in the dark. Lots of reflective stuff. Yes even the dorky ones on the pedals and wheels. Marathons and probably some other similar commuter tires have a reflective stripe on the sidewall. Reflective clothes and bags too. You can imagine a backpack blocking your reflective clothes. The ones that have reflective piping are more of a feel-good than effective.

Keep warm - maybe not this month in this hemisphere in this year!
