I've seen those type of flashers before, but for some reason I thought
it cycled between off and low, not low and high. In either case, it
certainly made the cyclist much more noticable, which is what I am usually
concerned with. If they notice me, there is a much lower chance that they're
going to pull out into traffic in front of me, thinking that I am not there.
Considering two of my friends ended up in the hospital because two different
cars pulled out in front of them and claimed "But I did not see him ...", I
think flashers might be a good idea. (I don't have them, in fact, I do not
even have a motorcycle any more. <sigh>)
