At night, you need to see and to be seen!
Bright colors, flashlight or headlamp, you need to be equipped to see and to be seen. It's an individual responsibility, and simply common sense.
To see where you're going, you'll need a flashlight (or a smartphone flashlight).
Reflective equipment multiplies visibility distance by a factor of three, and even by a factor of four or five when it takes the form of reflective strips worn on the arm or ankle.
So, no, lighting up bike lanes on the pretext that you can't see bikes in a car is not the right solution!
At night, in France, it's compulsory to wear a reflective vest outside built-up areas, and strongly recommended in town.
Front and rear lights are compulsory in all cases.
So, have some reflexion, and be visible !
