And wear a headlamp while doing so! I wear a Petzl Tikka in anything
but broad daylight, and now feel safer at night than during daylight.
For getting noticed in daylight, you might consider a brighter
headlamp, like speologists wear. A headlamp also lets you see your
cycle computer/GPS at night, and comes in handy fixing punctures etc.
As for getting eye contact: I find that's actually easier on a 'bent,
but maybe the average European car is lower than its American
counterpart
