"I ride my bicycle in a sideways world

"The people I used to cycle with have all passed away, and I go too slow for the younger guys." --Jack Thacker, 97 years old this month and still riding...

In my two rules of bike lighting I mentioned the importance of using your lights to create "intrigue" for other road users.
Let me make it plainer: when riding at night put a flashing light and a static light on the front of your bike.

Daylight saving time has just kicked in here, so I thought I'd go back and have look at how my lighting rig worked out this winter, particularly with the addition of a high-intensity Ay Up headlight.
