You might want to consider some reflective strips on your crank

I would not. Besides the main goal is being seen as moving object
of recognizable speed and course, not being recognized as a bicycle.

I disagree...the left-right flash is immediately identifiable as a "moving
bicycle", who's presence in the roadway requires extra caution. This helps
to ensure that the operator of a motor vehicle won't mistake it for
something else (e.g., a stationary reflector or light next to the roadway).
