I ride a lot at night (early morning before sunrise actually) both on the road and on trails. I have an H.I.D. headlight that gets me noticed and is bright enough that I can't easily outride the beam. On the back, I have a blinking red LED tail-light that is equally tough to miss. Otherwise, I have enough reflective material to look like I am wearing Christmas lights. I have had many other riders and motorists comment that there is no way to miss me when I am riding in the dark. That's the way it should be. The only trouble that I have ever had is from drivers who aren't awake yet, and from dogs running around loose. As long as I watch for them, it continues to be a great time to ride. One morning I noticed something out of the corner of my eye and looked down to find that a coyote was running along the trail next to me. He was looking up at me like "on your left" as he pulled past before darting through a break in the trees.
