ITS DARK....
and approx 1 in 10 cars that i see have either a busted headlight or tail light...GRRRRR
Due to a previous local job I cycled to work for 3 years in all weathers. (8mile round trip) and used to run to work in the summer....
...in the end the bike had 3 front lights. 1x5w 1x10w 1x flashing led, and 2 rear red lights. (50% of the roads had no street lights) and a high viz jacket (highways agency approved).......got knocked off one winter....i was on the main village road 30limit and a car came out of a side turn....took me out and broke my elbow.....she said "sorry i didn't see you".........
yeh I use a bike helmet.....and so do my children...
you can judge road conditions, and general situations but theres always the unknown...just like when at a crossing and the little green man says its safe to cross the road,,,always make sure the cars/bikes have stopped fully before crossing the road,,,we've all seen cars go straight through......and thats outside the village school!!! think once think twice think total pratt.....
