What should a rider do to improve visibility when riding at night?

Wearing reflective gear significantly enhances a rider's visibility at night. Reflective materials catch and reflect light, making the rider more noticeable to other motorists who may not see them clearly in low-light conditions. This is particularly important at night when visibility is naturally reduced.

Choosing to ride without the headlight decreases safety as it limits visibility for both the rider and other road users. Increasing speed does not help visibility; in fact, it can reduce the time a rider has to react to hazards that may appear suddenly in the limited range of light. While maintaining a constant speed might contribute to stability, it does not actively improve visibility in the dark. Thus, wearing reflective gear is a proactive and effective measure to enhance a rider's presence on the road at night.
