Night driving

[David.H]

I have fitted a small bicycle rear light, one of those that has a single very bright red LED, on a redundant screw, low down on the offside rear mudguard.

It is not very obvious, until it is on, and then it is uncomfortably bright if you get too close.

I hope the following modern thinks "it's one of those pesky cyclists - slow and wobbly" and acts accordingly.

I have also stuck a large, cheap, roadside size reflecting triangle on the spare wheel.

Horrible, and very obtrusive.

 But I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of cars that stay well back, even where there is room to overtake.

I would much rather be seen than squashed.

I fitted a broom handle with a couple of bungees onto the spare wheel carrier of the RK with a cycle LED rear light at each end. The batteries are still going after 8 months! I use them in non flash/flicker during the day. I haven't ventured out at night yet!
