Back in the days when my back would let me use a bicycle, I insisted on wearing a reflective, in addition to bright LED head & tail lights at night. Got a couple of bikes, a 21-gear mountain bike & a 6-gear folding one that fits behing the car's rear seats. Reckon I'll pump up the tyres and try again sometime.

The main problem is that non-drivers don't have the benefits of headlights. Conversely they don't have the associated problem: lack of night vision. They can manage OK because they're adapted to the dark conditions and consider that because they can see OK, everyone else can too.
Clearly we need more snow. Dark targets stand out better against snow.
And my car, upon closer inspection is not black. It's a very dark grey with metallic flecks

@hazardwarning I used to use TweetLanes on my Android tablet for ADN & Twitter. But the developer quit ADN & now it just a Twitter app. But it is quite a good one.
@variablepulserate That's a compromise Apple also made with the 12-inch G4 PowerBook range: FireWire 400-only. It was introduced in 2003 and the 15 & 17-inch models had both FW 400 & 800. Of my PowerBook collection, the 2005 12-in has the most powerful processor, 1.5 GHz.
As part of a conversation here on 10C I discovered that Amazon will now deliver hardware, not just ebooks to Australia. So I bought a SeaGate GoFlex SATA-to-FireWire 800 adaptor. I can use it on my USB 2 Macs for faster backups than are possible with USB 2. I intend using it with a bare HD and the 12-inch G4 PowerBook.
@variablepulserate At Mum's place a few nights ago I had a similar problem & no medication available. So I mixed ½ a teaspoon of bi-carb soda into a can of evaporated milk. A bit weird-tasting & foamy but it did help. Many off-the-shelf medications combine calcium & bi-carb soda to combat reflux. I sipped that mad brew during the night.
@variablepulserate This is the one I acquired from eBay. $39 delivered from China. http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-RW024-001-Professional-Firewire-Stackable/dp/B000C3X83Q/ref=sr13?ie=UTF8&qid=1458065986&sr=8-3&keywords=firewire+cf+card+reader+-usb
