Lights on a bike

[TheMonkey]

On the front of my bicycle

... I have a dead cyclist....

[threaded]

On the front of my bicycle I have two HIDs and two big Lithium batteries to power them (I need 2.5 hours, 2 for the commute and a half just incase I get delayed).

Take ages to cool down, so I've semi-permanently attached them to the bike.

They scare drivers, which can only be A Good Thing in my book.

Cyclists on footpaths p*ss me off. I always manage to let off a bit of abuse when they manage to squeeze past and I've pretended I can't hear them saying excuse me 'cos my iPod is too loud.

I had one the other week. Just coming up to an area where there was railings alongside the footpath. Two youths came racing past me on the footpath and I hadn't heard them coming. First one wizzed past me just before the railings scaring me to death. Second one tried to wizz past me just as I got to the railings. He ran into the front edge of them and came to an abrubt halt.
He than wobbled off moaning loudly that he had "broken his B@st@rd fingers".
I couldn't move for laughing for a good five minutes.

When I was a kid, if you rode your bike at night you had to have lights on it. Why is that not the case now? Last night I nearly picked up some chav on an unlit BMX. He was wearing dark clothes, at night with no lights on a badly lit street. 'kin idiot.

I remember when I was a kid, I was riding my bike with my brother sitting on panier holder above the back mudguard along a main road. PC Plod drives past and pulls us over, takes us home, and lets my parents know what we were doing. I know we were stupid, though in my defence I can't have been more than 9 or 10, but nowadays no-one cares.

On the subject of vehicles and lights why cant some people tell the difference between fog and a bit of rain? It drives me mad on motorways when all I can see is 1,000,000 candle power red light glaring in my face, in my 18 years of driving experience I have only ever needed them on about 10 occasions, what’s worse is the people who feel the need to leave them on for a few days after.

The Highway code says that rear fog lights must be used when there is spray on the motorway. What pee’s me off if boy racers who always have their front fog lights on (illegal) An vehicles, mainly HGVs who drive in fog with no lights.

That was in the days when we actually had a Police presence on the streets. Who is there to enforce those rules now?
ID cards will sort it out.

Was she sort of hanging about on a street corner?
