[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reflective gear is super important, but it gets dark at 5 PM now and some of us actually use bikes for transportation. "Stop doing your daily commute/errands" is not a reasonable ask any more than telling you not to drive after dark if you don't feel confident that you can see cyclists. We should wear brighter gear and more lights, and you should drive carefully and expect to share the road. [/quote]

You can blame other people all you want (and we know cyclists love to blame everyone else for everything). But you'll be the person who's dead if a driver doesn't see you. [/quote]

Right, but the OP says that cyclists seem to "pop up out of nowhere" which means she has a vision problem and shouldn't be driving at night.  The fact that the person would be dead doesn't mean that no cyclists should ever ride at night ever or nobody should ever walk anywhere at night.  Removing every other user that you don't want to slow down for from the transportation system is not the answer, even if you could technically kill them and probably get away with it.
