ah...........the old cyclist thread raises its ugly head again :lol
those who've been around the site for yonks will remember many arguments about the lycra clad bastards who do this that and the other and generally piss everyone off :lol
I'm one who uses these newer bright cycling lights and I appreciate they can dazzle and the trick is to angle them so they don't ( other than pointing at the floor then its a hard call) but the alternative from the moaning brigade has always been that yer lights are crap or yer have no lights and either way we can't see you
you must have a fixed light (constant) by law on a bike but the flashing ones do catch the eye and in a day and age where everyone is cutting each other up then I'd deffo advocate having both types on a bicycle
Its like the old argument of a motorcyclist being in the right on the road but getting wiped out.........Judge....the motorcyclist had right of way and done nothing wrong but is unfortunately dead because he held his line instead of moving over.......
I try to be as courteous to everyone on the road no matter who they are but my pet gripes are tailgaters, cars with one blown headlight with the other on highbeam (come on Police, get a grip please) and middle lane hoggers
