Why not use oil lamps or candles in wind-proof lanterns? Red glass for rear, clear glass for the front. My grandparents rode bikes back in the days before reliable battery lamps were a thing and that's what they used.

The lights must be "flashing" according to the headline

Ok, but why? None of our motor vehicles use flashing lights, why them?

They sure do when they’re going slower than regular traffic. They’re called “hazard lights”. You may find you have them in your car too.
