Ninja Cyclists / High Viz / lack of lights - your opinions please

Hi,

I use my lights day and night, bit like a motorbike. I have a flashing PDW 200 or 450 front Smart front light and use a rear Smart R1 on flash even on a lovely day.

Costs me next to nothing and just seems like sense to me.

Last night I was driving on a dual carriageway at 11.45PM and passed a couple of tools on road bikes riding 2 abreast. All in black, not a single light between them!!

I constantly see people wearing ridiculous high viz clothes and all the gear - apart from the legal requirement of having adequate lights when conditions dictate.

Do you have lights and use them or do you think looking like a worker wearing high viz excuses you?

Admittedly I do see more sensible light users than I did a year ago and people using them day or night.

Unfortunately the majority do seem to be idiots who use no lights whatsoever.

I don't live in a major city but a large town. What's your experience and opinion?

Great opinions - cheers!!!

Apologies for offending the regulars on here. Can see you are all chums.

It's cool - I now understand cyclists a lot more and the cliques that they enjoy

Perhaps we should discuss a less volatile subject - like whether cyclists should wear helmets or not.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
