So that other road users can hopefully see me, I use bright yellow Hi-viz tape on all my machines. I simply cut the tape to 25mm width so that it fits the mudguard (fender) profile better...Does anyone else do the same?

Love that flag admin, where d'you get it?

To tell the truth, I've never felt the need to go to much effort to make myself seen. In my experience, recumbents look so weird, anyway, that we catch the eye of drivers. In fact, on weekend group rides, most of my friends say they feel safer with me in the group because people see me and have a moment as they try and figure out what I'm about.

I'm not against flags, or reflective tape.... If it makes you feel more secure and gets you on the bike, that's a good thing. Just don't get to thinking it's a magic shield. You should still ride like you're invisible.

I don't run a flag on my Recumbents but I do feel better with one on the Trikes, it may give me a little edge when riding in town especially in parking lots when I make Grocery Runs.

Some of those ultra bright headlights, get that way because then can concentrate all the light to the front. I saw a rider with a headlight but from the side he was almost invisible as he rode up to a crosswalk.
A little reflective tape would have helped.
