As a motorist (with the licence to drive a bus) and a cyclist, I must stress that it is incredibly hard to see unlit cyclists at night. Particularly on raining nights it is practically impossible. I don't want to hit a bike, and neither does anyone else. But I think putting a focus on making them more visible is a good thing.

Then again, I live in Denmark, so my views might be a bit skewed.

I agree with you there. Fortunately, in many jurisdictions in the United States, an electric rear light is mandatory.
