On my way home I nearly broadsided a ninja cyclist on a BMX who was concentrating more on his phone than on the road.

This is a video still as I approach him:

You would be forgiven for thinking there was nothing there, but there is in fact a ninja cyclist on the left hand side of that picture. So well hidden that even enhancing the picture cannot pick him out.
 
I've tried to expose your 'ninja', using my best attempts with the astro 'squeeze-a-galaxy-out-of-nowhere' photo-fixing software :smile:. Zilch. Just a faint suggestion of the head, that's all. So if your cyclist really is there, I reckon you'll need the Hubble telescope to pick him/her out... :biggrin:
 
I can see more than my camera does - how far was you when you saw him first time? Maybe you just wasn't concentrating?


Should have pushed him off, BMX isn't going to keep up with you, and no lights you can deny all responsibility - just like car drivers can do even though we are mobile christmas trees.
 
Speaking of which - how are we all "decorating" our bikes this year? Any flashing Santa handlebar ornaments I should know about?!?!

Thread hijack? IM IN!

Got myself some glow wire for the fun of it, I hardly ride at night (until the mornings draw in again) so it's just for fun really.
