I know about the obvious stuff like a bright vest, blinking rear light and wearing light colored clothes but is there anything else that I need for when nightfall hits?

A slightly less ugly alternative to amber reflectors between the spokes are reflective clips that wrap around each spoke:

I'm also pretty sure that lights in the EU are required to also function as a reflector or that at least most modern ones do.
