Came across a typical Ninja cyclist this morning, just before sun rise no lights, dark clothing, riding in the gutter, on the pavement and jumping a red light, he was also wearing a helmet, why?? A helmet won't save you from stupid behaviour, just grow up and learn to ride like an adult. It is tosser like that that give the rest of us a bad name:angry:

Apart from that I had a great ride in...
 
Was watching one tonight coming up to Whipps Cross dressed in black with one steady front and one flashing but I really had to look out for him from 200-300 yards away AND I HAVE GOOD EYESIGHT.

I tend to watch cyclists and take notes when im acting the ped.
 
Oh yes I have complained about it and BentMikey took the piss because he couldn't understand why I had difficulty in seeing a dark car with poor or no headlights switched on.

Well I don't have problems seeing either so I would agree with bentmikey in that respect, but it's more difficult, obviously. I'm glad someone else gives a toss about car lights, it makes a change.

Should have gone to Specsavers innit.


Another stupid unfunny comment.

Yes I do because it can be a problem and also cars with one headlight on can almost fool you into thinking it's a motorcyclist.

So are cars with broken lights, but I never hear you lot complaining about them.

Coming home in the dark tonight, did notice there were more cars with broken lights than cyclist without lights, but driver consider that to be more acceptable for some reason...:ohmy:

We used to call them one-eyed monsters in Africa - much more scary out in the real dark when you don't know whether it's a car or motorbike. At least here in the UK most roads are lit up so it's not hard to see them.

p.s. gotcha Hackers. :ohmy:
