Anyone Tried shining a light on the road to the side of you?

Fight !

It’s alright, that’s always an old nag you can lead to the trough, but will they drink! 👹

No one should be upset to learn they ride an up wrong. It’s a term of endearment. Bless.

Ta very much ,your Merciliness, a fellow laid-back layabout,
They just don't know what it is like riding with out a crick in the neck , a nice open chest to breathe, laying back in a comfy hammock of a chair whilst using lrsd energy.
Now, as you know ,who's ' wrong?

I'm afraid I share the opinion of some others here.

The drivers you need to be influenced by this light won't be.

As ever, most drivers are great, but the 10% that aren't are oblivious or ignorant.

Apart from "laying back" and maybe "lrsd" that I can't untypo just now, all that can be true riding a Dutch bike.

Sorry that's a typo last should have been 'less' but you know it is.
My trike isn't Dutch , it's Czech ,from AZUB recumbent, one of the best innovative recumbent builders out there, as for laying back, look at the seat in my avatar, no numb bum here!

Nah. They think they know exactly what you are and no driver wants to be in the newspaper for squishing a paralympian!

A pal of mine once fell over a recumbent at a rest stop on the Vale of Belvoir ride…..when cyclists can’t see ‘em, what hope is there 🫣🤣

Isn't a blue light on a fork truck illegal unless it is a fire, police, ambulance, mountain rescue or coastguard fork truck?

Fork truck also known as forklift, stay in or near a warehouse not the highway.

 

[Jameshow]

I doubt it.

Now, if someone could project a hologram of a cardboard box or shopping bag then that would get you the avoiding action and wide overtakes that cyclists can only dream of.

How about a hologram of a tank driving along side you. That might work!🤣🤣🤣

In Britain they can be road registered and driven short distances along the road, must have have road lights fitted

An interesting concept. I'd like to have a system that automatically measured and captured close passes, but I wonder if police forces and courts would give much credence to such evidence?

It'd probably depend on the calibration
