Similarly, cyclists would not be required to wear special clothing or
protective gear like helmets unless drivers were too.

I don't think they are required to wear any of that.

But lights and reflectors are a good idea, and considering how many
cyclists fail to keep those in working order, reflective clothing is a
useful failsafe.

[Cars, of course, are also required to have lights and reflectors; and
drivers are required to use seatbelts, if not crash helmets].
