Oh I am. Hi-vis vest, lights fore and aft, and gold sparkly duct tape on my bike carrier and wheel rims. And hi-vis gloves for signalling. Just wish more people did likewise. Worst I ever saw was a young woman with her BABY in her bike carrier - black/charcoal grey clothing, no lights, no helmet and wobbling down the centre line of the road and not stopping at stop signs or signalling. And wearing a long long scarf that was easily long enough to get caught in the wheels, Isadora Duncan style. I'm cool with her decision to risk her life, but her BABY???? Not cool.
