I'll never understand people who run white lights on the rear of their bikes.
Your reply is, from the perspective of a driver and a cyclist, the best advice.
I'd add that if you can afford it a jacket from proviz is an absolute life saver - as soon as any light hits then in the dark you become a beacon.
I use this Resolute Bay jacket -
So I hopefully I stand out fairly well along with all the lights that I run day and night.
I've never understood why people wear black and have little or no lights. Half the people driving are not paying enough attention to other cars, let alone cyclists, even in broad daylight. The more seen and predictable in terms of where I'm travelling I can be, the better!
Where I live it is the law that you have red on the rear, white on the front and amber on the sides of any mode of transport you use. Not that is is enforced properly unfortunately.
