as somebody who bike commutes a little over 2 hours every day, I really don't understand why anybody would be angry about this, I mean, I would be wearing a strobing whole body orange flashing laser vest if it was available and the batteries lasted long enough. In the end bikes are a lot less visible than a car, especially at night, and even more so when it's raining, and despite this I still see several times a week cyclists dressed in black with no lights: of course if a car hits a cyclist the car is at fault, but if you think about it as a car driver you are rolling the dice at times at night because there is no way you can see somebody dressed like that until it's too late if they decide to ride in front of you. I am not saying all car drivers are blameless, despite using TWO 1000+ lumens led lights (one on my handlebar, one on my helmet) I still often get cut off by cars turning in front of me, or despite having a 500+ lumens red rear light cars passing me and cutting me off by turning right in front of me, so as a cyclist one has to ride defensively at all times, but I really don't see why one would not immediately jump at something that makes them more visible (and that will make any "I didn't see him" defense by a car driver in an accident moot)
