Love the flashing brake light, caught my eye, as it were.
I also love the idea of flickering or roaming (like the cylon helmet) lights on the front of the bike. Movement catches the eye so a system which causes other motorists to look twice and register our presence is a good thing.
The G/F has a cluster of LED's under the headlight of the DT. Even tilted down quite steeply they are very bright... A good thing you might say, but, to my eyes they make it difficult to gauge the speed and distance of her bike. In the mirror their is no bike, just the bloody light.
We need a broad range of skills, techniques and identifiers to keep ourselves safe on the roads but nothing will save us from those who will not see.
I'm intending getting some hi viz self adhesive vinyl to put highlights on me helmets. I still reckon the movement of a hi viz helmet is right up there in being seen. Over cars, hedges, walls etc,. I might do little Iron Cross's, get all Red Baron on it. Heh.
