I agree with what is said above, be seen and be predictable. I understand what you mean about riding on rural roads. I live in a rural area and there are times motorists make it very clear they do not like bicyclists.
About visibility, in addition to the bright, contrasting colors I also use a very bright rear light and head light if the sun is past it's peak. For example, before 8am and after 5pm. But if there is cloud cover then I extend the times. Now I live in So AZ so the sun VERY bright and I adjust my times accordingly. The point is it's about being seen. And as a motorist, I sure appreciate it when cyclist do this.
Ah, just saw your reply post. You are already using lights.
Way to go on the hills!
