Ninja's

Just can't believe how many idiots with no lights I saw on the way home tonight. It was hammering it down and extremely windy. I rode for 35 minutes and must have seen about 15. I even saw one guy with a red on the front, and a white on the back!!

Don't be surprised mate , they're everywhere! I even work with one who doesn't need lights cos he knows how to ride safely. He's just bought a raleigh helmet with built in rear light after being clipped by a car last week

Usually the same people that get upset by red light jumpers

I don't think I would put my lights on in Leytonstone. Best to stay as hidden as you can.

I saw the lesser spotted salmon ninja tonight

 

[Teuchter]

Watched one last night as he rode across a busy road, only missing being ploughed down by jumping straight onto the pavement (predictably). He joined the road 50 yards on to avoid pavement complications by a mini roundabout.

Taking my cue from the tales of self-righteous outrage at all other road users that usually fill the Commuting forum, as I passed him I shouted "Get some lights you f***ing fanny".

He replied with an equally eloquent retort before calling after me a few seconds later "something's fallen off your bike!".

I thought it would be the ultimate irony if one of my rear lights had fallen off for him to collect and fit onto his own bike but no, nothing had fallen off (I carefully checked later). It was obviously just a ploy to try to get me to stop to let him "debate" bicycle lighting with me

It's good to hear of increasing numbers of cyclists on the roads.

Darwins theory of evolution is alive and well

I meet one in the mornings, 5.30 country road.

I might clip him one morning just to enlighten him.


I also meet the 4000000000000000 lumen monster but at least i can see him (from about 10 miles away)
