I was stuck in traffic in my car at about 8.30 this morning looking
down at the radio to change channel. Out of my peripheral vision I
became aware of a flashing light from outside. It turned out to be a
bike filtering up the inside, some way back.

I have never thought of using a front light in daylight but was very
impressed by the result. It wasn't the brightest day this morning but
it wasn't really overcast or anything.

Funny you should mention this - I also saw a cyclist with a flashing
front light earlier today. *I've never before noticed one in daylight.

I regularly see cyclists with flashing rear lights in poor light (well
I did through the winter). They were wasting their batteries as
without exception I could see they were there before I could tell the
light was on. Whatever light you saw must have been pretty bright to
catch your attention in your mirror.
