I am with VBD here.
A pulsing light is hard to gauge sometimes. With more defined bike lanes, such as the ones on Avalon, making right turns onto streets like Genesee can be scary. As a driver, I do not use the bike lane to make that right. Naturally I check the bike lane before making my right. However, coming north on Avalon and making the right onto Genesee at night can be very confusing. Checking my mirrors, I got a line up of cars bending around Avalon behind me and I spot this little flashy light I can’t truly tell is moving closer to me or not. So I try and focus on this light, while stopped at a green light with my right blinker on. Now I got cars behind me honking cause I’m sitting there trying to figure out if I’m about to take out a cyclist by making this right turn.
Now, I truly believe if the cyclist lights are solid, it would be easier to determine from a vehicle if this is a cyclist.
