^ Black is just stupid.
the shade is called millenial darwin black btw.

get Hi vis yellow. flamboyantly gay all the way!, but works.

Front light attached to head. You can aim it where it needs to be aimed. For example, at a driver who is getting ready to pull out in front of you, or, say, a bear walking toward you.

Rear blinkey affixed to the seatpost. The blinkeez work best when lined up just right to line of sight. The guys with the lights you can see for miles have their lights attached to the seatpost/frame. It's like a laser beam. It's powerful, but needs to be pointing in the right direction.

When I ride with people who attech that sh#$ to their helmets, or camlebacks often, I am right behind them and can barely see their blinky. Why? It's not pointing in the right direction. Perhaps an airplane could see them from above, but not a car from behind. The effectiveness really depends on which way their head is tilting at the moment, sometimes its good, but overall it never seems to be as effective as a solidly mounted light
