As I rode home the other afternoon I was dazzled to the point of distraction by the rider in fronts back light. It was obviously a very powerful light but it was also angled directly into my face. It was in fact bright enough to cut out quite a bit from my field of view and was definitely distracting.
I came close to trying to talk to him about it but decided against it on the grounds that I thought it was probably better that he be easily seen than I just drop back a bit. Now I've had time to think about it I think I should tried to very politely say something to him about perhaps angling it down a bit. It would still be as visible but not distracting to other cyclists and perhaps cars as well.
Any thoughts? What would you have done?
