I'm with you on everything except for the "against traffic" gripe. You do realize that that's where runners/pedestrians are supposed to be, right? I actually get really POd at runners on the wrong side of the road, just as I do cyclists riding into traffic.

And one thing that drives me nuts about running clothing manufacturers is the dearth of reflective trim and abundance of dark colors in clothing--at least the warm stuff. Way too much black. But when it's dark even high-viz stuff is of no use. Some light is required for the human eye to see color. Everything may as well be black after sunset and before sunrise.

They definitely should have had some LED headlamps, though.
