%X Currently available bicycle tail-lights and head lights were evaluated in a field experiment in which the distances at which stationary cyclists could be detected was measured. In general, tail-lights performed well, especially a flashing tail-light which was detected at long distances against a complex background. Head lights performed poorly.This is particularly worrying as an analysis of bicycle crashes in the state of Victoria (Australia) indicated that a much higher proportion of night time bicycle crashes related to frontal rather than rear conspicuity.<p />
