shaunh Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Very,very sad! My condolences to Family & Friends. This just highlites that we are not invinceable. I urge all you guys to please be careful and to make yourself as visible as possible. Wear a safety vest and flashing head & tail lights even during daytime!!! Rather be an alive 'un-cool' looking cyclist than a cool looking dead one!!! Think of your family & friends!!! Be Safe!!!
widget Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Yup, I am surprised at the number of cyclists out in the morning and evening without lighting of any sort. Last night it was a bit murky and on my return ride at around 6-15pm I must have seen 10/12 cyclists, not one with any light. This morning I was driving to Alrode South at about 7am it was overcast and grey and I cant tell how many cyclists were out without lights. Theres no substitute for visibility.
