Thanks - some interesting points and new info.

I bought a Halo-belt a while back - one of those (what I thought afterwards) was a totally unnecessary purchase - and to boot I thought it was a bit expensive too.

 

That was until I went for a run last week at 6pm and got caught in rush-hour loadshedding traffic.  Hell I wish now I had bought two of the things.....

 

Will definitely cycle with it now too.

Nice article!  Thanks guys.

 

I try to cycle every day.  But I have found that riding in the mornings are better in the sense that drivers are a bit more alert and less aggressive.

Agreed,especially on using lights to be visible, even during daylight, it works!
