How to make myself more visible?

[Geonz]

I was thinking along those lines. There are stretches of my route that are dangerous at the equinox 'cause the sun comes up directly in front of me... b ut generally since I'm going west in the a.m. and east in the p.m. it's traffic coming the other way that would miss seeing me, which isn't as big a deal. Still, 'round that time I tend to take the long way in.

Tulip,

This is the best route to work. The other road, a back road, is heavily traveled in the morning (students, parents and buses). The cars literally fly down this back road and frequently the cars are not in their appropriate lane. It too is a road that goes west-east and so once again I would be riding into the sun.
