Be as visible as possible, make sure your headlight is working, it should be a full time headlight, I tap the brakes enough so the brake light will flash if I'm worried about a car coming up to fast from behind or even before starting to slow down for a turn. Light colored clothing helps and you could get a safety vest one of those orange things construction crews wear. You might as well be prepared though, cars are going to not see you, it happens, give them plenty of room, think ahead, be prepared, ride defensively, ride like you're invisible. I'll be 70 next month and ride a couple of scooters and peddle around on a bike. Lots of lights and lots of white shirts is my way of keeping the risks in my favor. Heck, I even put daytime running lights on my old Toyota a while back.
