My commute is a 2.5km walk, completely in the dark in the winter. I cover whatever I'm wearing with my yellow goretex jacket from MEC that has the 3m Scotchlite strips all over it.

I was stopped once in my old town during my commute through a mill log yard. The guy in the truck stopped me, not to tell me I shouldn't be in there, but to tell me that my jacket was great - I lit up like a christmas tree! That jacket was the best birthday gift from my DH in a few years...

Happy night riding!
