Essential gear for night riding? (lemmy.world)

I know about the obvious stuff like a bright vest, blinking rear light and wearing light colored clothes but is there anything else that I need for when nightfall hits?

Eye protection is super important for daily bicycle use, no matter weather or time of day. A single speck of dust falling into the eye at the wrong time can cause a serious accident.

The more you ride, the higher probability of such thing happening. Not to mention wind drying your eyes, it can be serious pretty fast.
