I finally got around to taking pictures of my new commuter with all the lights and reflective tape. Since the bike is black with dark gray accents it needed lots of "help" so people can see me at night. I'm not a photographer so the pictures aren't the best.
Here it is in the daylight without the panniers.

The headlight setup. The small light on the bottom is always flashing, just to get motorist's attention.

The (stock) egg beater pedals. I kinda like them. After a few more weeks I may retire my 4+ year old SPDs.

The rear view at night. The small red lights in the upper portion of the picture are
Aireon Bar End Mini Lights. All the lights on the bike (except for the NiteRider headlights) are always set to flashing mode.

The view from the side. Hey motorists, can you see me going through the intersection?

The view an oncoming motorist would see.

The view someone walking their dog will see as I'm approaching.

What do you think? Can these Atlanta drivers see me?
Probably not.
