I think I will ADD the reflective bands you link to above. I read somewhere recently that neon yellow clothing is not really all that effective at night, and that reflective material, especially for the side of the bike and rider, are key. Certainly in the winter, my commute is in the dark on both ends. Thanks.
or you can add reflective tape
