i also rock a blinking front light at all times on all rides-including mups. will never know how many
incidents/accidents i've avoided and it doesn't give me clearance to ride faster in questionable
situations/conditions but it can't hurt. visibility is huge as is (previously mentioned) speed.
used to do a ton of riding in an area noted for oodles of elderly drivers that seemingly had bigger
issues judging speed vs visibility. so many slow, drawn-out left hooks, right hooks and t-bone situations.
this was 15 years ago. increased reliance on cell phones and in-vehicle distracting electronics haven't helped
since then.
