best way to be seen. $6 a string from amazon. Runs off of 3 aa batteries and they are still going strong.

Love those watermelon helmets!!! I may have to get one.
In addition to looking like a dork... and using many lights
... I also behave like one - overtly waving a big friendly "HI!" and often introducing myself ENTHUSIASTICALLY at stop lights and discussing with the drivers what they intend to do with their 2 ton mass of steel (and plastic) - and sharing with them my intentions... whether they inquire or not.
(It's amusing to me because in any other setting I'm quiet and prefer to fly under the radar...)
I often use Monkeylectric lights on the spokes of my commuters...
