TO PUT MY BLOODY LIGHTS ON THE BIKE

Took them off for the Blackpool ride yesterday and somehow forgot to put them back,got to work at 2pm and realised my mistake,luckily I was able to borrow a mates Tesco cheapo front light to get home with,was a real shock though as I'm used to 2 Hopes on the front and this was a 'green' flasher,thought I was invisible all the way home:sad:
 
Blimey...mine are always fitted.

You can be invisible during a bright sunny day as well.. :ohmy: "sorry, I didn't see you mate"

I actually enjoy cycling at night due to low traffic.

Same here Mr Zap,my 4am commutes are great even with the odd rogue lorry.

4-5am is pretty bright already during summer days, i love cycling out that early, just for fun, seeing the sleepy bus and tram drivers who start their shifts :ohmy:

I like my 'off peak' commutes too,just made me realise how good my lights are that's all,was quite scary everytime i came to a junction with a car waiting to come out,I covered the brakes just in case.
Luckily my back light is permanently glued to my seat pack to stop it falling off so I had that OK.

I had a cheap pair of lights (£4 from Sports Direct) sat on my BSO. Someone nicked them!

Also, I think having lights OFF would be best for me riding through Derby city centre at 10pm, especially on a friday night!

Someone knicked my last front light - one of those £20 EBC ones that are easy to undo - they even took the bracket! I'd only gone into Netto for less than 5 minutes, just forgot to take it off that time. Luckily I've got my magnet powered dynamo reelights on the wheels too, but I don't feel as safe using them on their own.
