Human eyes are very sensitive to peripheral movement.
It is due to this, that I run flashing daytime lights.
it’s for the same reason other vehicles have flashing daytime lights on top, to be seen!
it’s the same reason every car has blinkers, that blink!
And as a cyclist, I need all the help we can get in the “to be seen” dept.
Yet, riding a day glow yellow bike, wearing a day glow yellow jersey, running flashing lights, people have still “accidentally” tried to kill me.
I can’t imagine being a cyclist on the roads today without my flashers.
