While I was out on the CCT last night, this whole arrangement stopped 4 lanes of traffic on the Little Falls Parkway crossing. I was pleased
Those are these really neat reflective stickers that go on the spokes. They are a huge side visibility add-on. I forget the name but I see them at most local bike shops. You get a package with enough to put one on every spoke of both wheels plus some others to stick around the bike. I never realized how cool they looked until I saw them with the camera light reflecting off them.
To your point on the dim trail lights, I think the flashing is more effective during the day when the light needs to contrast with daylight, but at night I think you’re right. We don’t need to grab attention at night on the trail, we just need to show up. It’s dark. Anything will show up. Flashing is probably more distracting than it needs to be. I will have to work a flash/steady mode into the lighting.
