@seeker333 Good pointer to Alert Shirt. Thanks.

The UV dye in Alert Shirts holds up pretty good through multiple washes.

However, they don't breathe well at all IMO. I clipped the cuffs off my long sleeves in an effort to get air up the arms, and vent shirt better.

I chose long sleeves for UV protection - shirts are cheaper than sunblock. I wear LS shirts year round, even when it's 100F. In fact, I add a short sleeve on top of the long sleeve for additional UV protection of my back when it's really hot.

IIRC I bought some of these: http://alertshirt.com/poloslmtanco.html

I have a planet bike superflash turbo http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3070.html, it is super bright if you look directly into it, its not as bright as what you would get with some more expensive lights but it does the job, add some high-vis clothing and you should be about a visible as you can get. I once had a car pull out in front of me and i could see my headlight strobing in the interior of his car, problem is he never looked left as he was turning. I saw him several hundred feet back and slowed down knowing that he could pull out.

I've got a Shimano hub, Edelux headlight and some kind of German taillight.

I have generator lights on two of my bikes (One Shimano, one Schmidt), but I don't know of any generator powered tail light with a flashing mode, and I don't know of any generator powered tail light which is bright enough to catch attention in daylight. The Dinotte tail light will get your attention in the middle of the day - it is in a whole other league.
