I am familiar with where you live, I drive through there on the way to Savannah/Corinth/Iuka area. That's a nice place to commute! Pretty rolling hills.

I'd get some reflective gear if your riding early or late, it's dark at night there! Also a good idea around there is to wear jerseys of local sports teams you like (Tennesse, Alabama, or Titans, Grizzlies, or whatever). The people around there will treat you better than when you go full cycling kit.
i work 2nd shift so half of my commute will be after 11PM. I got some lights and reflectors and i am going to some relfective tape for my helmet as well. Luckily traffic is extremely light that time of night. I have legit riding gear so i look official on the road bit nothing that makes me look like a "cycleist", I am going to have to pass on the sports Jersey because I only like 1 team and the Tampa Bay Lightning are not gonna help me in middle TN 😆😆😆
