It’s well and truly dark now when I’m leaving the office and already you can count cyclists pedalling around with no lights whatsoever on their bikes. It never fails to amaze me how crazy some people are.
As far as I’m concerned, I will do anything necessary to be seen when I’m on the bike, so I have a vast collection of lights as well as hi-vis clothing. But it doesn’t cost much to stick a simple front and back light on (it is the law after all, and it’s there to protect you) and maybe wear some lighter clothing.
I’ve reviewed a selection of bike lights for this Friday’s Inverness Courier – along with my regular cycling route, so pick up a copy if you can! The route is a real cracker too!
