Ryan: note that the standard roadwork barrier warning light is an amber
blinkie (tho' I am old enough to remember the hand-bomb-shaped flaming
flares used until the '60s or so). Of course, the fact that guvmint uses it
is no proof of its reasonableness.
Me, I use: one blinkie; one steady; and refl
Yup. Comforting that there's obviously no wrong answer.

One more idea: a big reflective triangle attached to your bag, or a
reflective vest (personally dislike these -- too much of a hassle to get on

Lee Mitchell, a local bike person who has been driving sag support for
literally hundreds of events here in NorCal, recommends reflective ankle bands

I've been thinking about lights, and I bet a fairly simple switch
(lightweight examples found on motorcycle switchgear) could be affixed to
the rear cable housing stop that would activate when the brake is applied,
and then power a bright red LED. It could work in conjunction with a
