No, he was a Liberal Democrat. For some reason they seem to be getting a bit uppity of late...

My response (at least when I slow down or stop long enough to reply to anyone) would be "if they bother you, then don't look directly at them, you idiot!".
In other words, I have yet to see any bicycle light that impairs someone's vision when only viewed peripherally. But if you find any, please let me know; I'm always keen to try better ones!

Mr Summerdays is still using his Ay-up's even though its light both ways now. Me I can't be bothered with the faff of putting lights on and off each time you lock up the bike. But I frequently get that comment in winter time even though all my commutes are in daylight.
Ignore the village idiot ... its up to you to decide if you want to run with your lights on.

I can only assume that the lights caught him and dazzled him
I have mine a perhaps a tad high and get the odd flash of lights from cars
Fine line though i think between being considerate and reducing effectiveness, I'm quite sure they make a difference even on the brightest day, if they're bright/intense enough natch

It is obvious, your unconventional lighting system is causing irritation to other road users, accept the flak uncomplainingly or change your lighting set-up.tdr1nka said:

My guess is that he is one of those people who think that every ounce of responsibility must be on other road users, rather than on the cyclist themselves. He refuses to have lights on as "It's up to the car drivers to see me, not for me to make myself visible."
These people argued against having m/cycle lights on for the same purpose, and believe that eventually, because it's a good idea, someone will make it compulsory. He will also argue ad nauseam against hi-viz, flashing lights and so on.
Was he wearing a helmet?

That's both rather judgemental and wrong of you, Cubist.
