+1 on chem lights except keep them in two places. Some on your bike for wrenching, some (at least one) in your gear. I always wonder what would happen if I was in a wreck and stuck down a ravine somewhere, how would search and rescue find me??? So I keep a chem light in my gear to signal folks at night. I figure if I'm in a canyon somewhere, the odds that the bike and I came to rest in the same spot is pretty slim. I also carry a whistle in my gear. I learned while backpacking that a whistle is louder than yelling and you can blow into a whistle for hours. Try yelling for hours and see how your voice holds up. Plus you can use the whistle for an SOS signal.
