Cycling in the Dark

[Longbarn Killer]

This has been brought up before, but I'm going to mention it again. There seems to be a bit of a trend in PE at the moment. It was even mentioned in Bicycling magazine (or was it Ride). Cyclists riding in the dark without rear lights. I see it almost every day as I leave for work in the dark. They have massive flood lights on the front, but nothing on the rear.

 

This morning, whilst commuting to work in the pitch dark, I was over taken by a young lady on a Dogma (at least it looked like one, but couldn’t see too well in the dark). She had a floodlight on the front of her bike, but absolutely nothing on the rear.

 

If anybody knows her (there can’t be too many Dogma owners in PE), please tell her to cough up R100 or so and get a tail light. It is for her safety.

 

I know of somebody who was training early on a Saturday morning, without lights and was hit by a car. It was not very pleasant.

I think the rear light is even more important than the front light.

This is unacceptable!!!! first of all there is a combo on the hub for a 1000 lumen light with rear light only R595 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/30159-1000lumen-biketail-light-rubber-batteryheadband/

 

Second thing is that with Pyrolights you never have to cycle in the dark again.

"Pyrolights Day light cycling... at night"

Cyclists are the only type of people that don't notice sexy women. They are always too busy looking at the bikes. Didn't I mention it was a Dogma?

Front and rear is very important.

We are not cycling when on the hub, so ladies are more obvious
