Respro ankle bands. Fluro yellow for the day, flip them over at night for the 3M scotch lite side. Bit pricey, but last for ages and you can wear them with whatever shorts or leggings you have.

I would heartily recomend the Gore oxygen 2.0 jacket, still gets a bit sweaty, but nothing can be that breathable. I tend to wear my pearl Izumi Softshell for most riding though.

Much as I am against this tax, it might just encourage people to keep their old bike going a little longer, maybe helping the LBSs to earn from the repair and replacement business.
Don’t forget the second hand market, it’s not all about new bikes.
