Rant of the Week

London, UK

I drove into town this evening to attend a fund-raising event. On the way there I counted no less than four cyclists who, either had poor lighting, or no lights at all - rear or front.

Do these people have brains? Don't they realise how dangerous and stupid it is to ride in the dark without lights. Even reflective clothing would help - they don't even bother with that.

Years ago, when I was at school, anybody caught cycling without lights would be in very serious trouble.
