No light record??

[bianco]

This isn't intended to pi$$ anyone off, but I think I've hit a record of 6 miles without any lights, 2 roundabouts that are always empty.

Its a pretty smooth run with the exception of me being late and hitting the school traffic.

Can anyone beat 6 miles no lights??

What a naughty person! Get thee to Arches office for a proper spanking!

If Arch isn't there Brock might be deputising.

Well, I've been 12 miles with no lights...then again, it was broad daylight and I didn't need them.

I rode from Oxford to Hereford in the dark in pissing rain into a head wind in December with only a pair of 'Wonder-lights', does that count?

 

[andygates]

Showing your age there!

I can do just about 4.5 miles without coming across a set of traffic lights. If I got a bit more involved with routing I might be able to extend that. Let me go have a play on the map.

 

[BentMikey]

Looks like I could get that to 7.8 miles with a bit of effort...

Hold on a minute, is it just me or is there a little confusion in this thread

Are we talking no lights, as in no traffic lights, or no lights as in the cateye/ayup variety?

Oh. I read the OP and thought it meant finding a route that had no traffic lights, and I was going to say go to Orkney, they don't have a single set on the whole archipeligo.

If it's riding without lights for 6 miles (in the dark), that's very naughty. And being Tuesday, I have my whip with me... (well, I would have, but I left it at the stables last week, but I have it in spirit...)

I couldn't work that out either. Glat it isn't just me!

For me with no bike lights and no traffic lights, 200yards maybe?

London sucks.

If its the distance before Traffic lights I only get 1.5 miles after leaving my flat, after then the lights are more frequent.

If its the distance without bike lights in the dark. I push the bike through the close without them on but that only be 20 yrds or so.

Sorry guys...

I meant traffic lights, I don't travel any where without lights
