Why? What happens there? Do they all nod sagely in agreement with every single opening post, and chant melodically like monks with the depth of their consensus?

There was this one, where opinions were asked for, given and we were told they didn't count.
Bike accident? No win no fee lawyers - any recommendations or avoidance?

Perhaps if you hadn't referred to some cyclists as tools and idiots and to ridiculous hi-viz, you might have had more sympathetic responses. Lights during daylight are rarely necessary unless there is very poor visibility. Maybe the tools on road bikes had got lost and stayed out longer than they intended, that's why they didn't have lights.

Most motorcycles don't have the facility to turn off the lights, they are on regardless.

Too scared to go there - have they decided whether helmets should be black or hi viz?

More likely to bear the load of a car than plastic hat, I'll give it that.
Wait wait wait!
This will be relegated to the Helmet debate if anyone posts 'helmet' one more time!
...Doh.

Just put indicators either side of the periscope and everything is covered then.

I don't see the point of using lights in broad daylight.
I use a hi-vis 'jacket' most of the time when the weather is cool. I've used it while using lights too!
I've always thought cycling on a dual carriageway is illegal, but I guess it isn't. You won't catch me on them, it's too dangerous.
I can't stand flashing lights on a bike, but I may consider using them myself at some point.
I see quite a few cyclists out on the road with no helmet, I wish them luck when they run in to a car (no not really).

Why doesn't someone develop stylish black hi vis and make everyone happy?

I went out today wearing a fluorescent pink top.
Went back for my front light though (for the road bike) was a bit dull today and too many Magoo's in the village
