Real lighting, the kind that you use on your bicycle.<br /><br />Still see plenty of unlit (and often non-reflective!) cyclists though, especially when I am driving. Perhaps it's better than nothing, but a reflective strip here and a tiny watch-battery LED blinkie there are not enough. I wish more bikes on the street had real head and tail lights. No one ever talks of how being stuck behind an obnoxiously fluttering capacitor-driven flare must drive (heh) many motorists to added impatience beyond that of simply following a slow-moving vehicle equipped with standard lights.<br /><br />Ranting aside, I'd stop short of making blinking lights actually illegal, as they may be in some European countries, but I personally do not use them.MDIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810401918223629618noreply@blogger.com
