[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously?  Don't bike after dark?

Drive more carefully.  [/quote]

I am mostly a biker and a walker, and as a result I am an extremely cautious driver.

It’s next to impossible to see a biker at night.

Don’t be an idiot. [/quote]

A lot of people do it seeing normal lights/reflectors.  If you have a hard time seeing lights and reflectors then please get your eyes checked to see if you have a condition.  It's not normal.

I'm not taking about people who have no lights or reflectors.[/quote]
WABA recommends using as much reflective material as possible when cycling at night in order to increase visibility beyond what is mandated by law, including reflective vests, wheel reflectors, tires with reflective strips, reflective ankle band, backpacks, stickers and decals. Not sure why you don’t want to take professional safety advice.

Why are people taking this so personally and being so defensive about it? I think the request of not biking after dark is silly, but the advice to wear highly reflective clothing is about safety and even recommended by the biking Association.[/quote]
