- Never underestimate the stupidity and incompetence of the motorist, especially in the morning, when they are asleep and/or checking on their phones to see who the latest celebrity death is. I seldom commute as am not office based, but I have a route which is plotted to minimise the problem points, and this makes a huge difference to the number of near misses.

: you need to have a reflector; the best way to do this is to have proper mudguards (which make for a much nicer experience in bad weather, so are worth it for that)
: you need reflectors front and back on the pedals. I have some rubber things, that fit round the SPD pedal - you end up with a two sided pedal: SPD on side, flat the other, with a large platform.
Everything else is optional.
I have some special lights for commuting which are bright enough to take down an aeroplane - probably a bit too bright....
