My tires have reflective sidewalls, my pannier has reflective piping, my trunk bag has reflective stripes, and I wear a reflective sash. I also use a pair of button cell lights on my helmet.

Got this used Sanyo Cycle Light from a LBS and though battery powered it looks good. A good support headlight in one of my bicycles.

New China made Front & Rear LEDs. Lumination is okey. Blue casing is multi colored LEDs. Adaptable on the Headpost and seat post.

Three of my bikes are/were reflectors...

3M Scotchlite, and AVERY retro-reflective films are a great way to make your entire bike visible.



The one in the photo was later replaced when a crack in the frame doomed it.

More on doing this yourself is found on bikeportland.org.

I also have a PDW Fenderbot mounted to my rear fender, a Dinotte 140L (red) attached to my rear rack, and a Dinotte 200L (amber) light attached to my helmet.



What bracket are you using with that Cyo? It doesn't look like the stock one.

The one that Peter White sells. I don't recall the model name/number, but it was only like $5 or so.

My latest LED headlight, a Sanyo LED powered by a Nexus Dyno/Brake Hub.
