Add lighting and maybe reflective gear. Observe your headlight and taillight from a distance, or have someone do it for you. Some people think their lights are bring and attention-getting but they’re not.

It’s good to use supplements, too. Maybe use two headlights, perhaps one flashing and one steady. You can also use two taillights, and they can flash at different intervals. I often ride with supplements such as a light in my rear wheel or a lit-up trouser band. I’ve received expressions of gratitude from those two things. I also put reflective tape on both front and back sides of my pedals. The unfortunate thing about safety gear is that you never really know if it works. You only know if it doesn’t work. I’d rather not give a reason for people not to see me, but the fact is, they’re not all looking for people like me, so I have to grab their attentions somehow. I don’t want to be obnoxious and flash eye-injuring lights, but I don’t think it’s necessary. A well-focused beam can seem bright when it really isn’t.
