Heading out of town on Monday night, I turned onto Hwy 36 going north from Broadway (i.e. at the Bustop). It was 8:20pm and a few hundred yards down north on 36, heading into town was a cyclist with no lights and no reflector. The only redeeming quality is that he was dressed in white.
Just how dark does it have to be before cyclists need to have lights and reflectors? Not to mention this is a road with cars traveling at high rates of speed.
I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. As a driver, at night (or very very nearly “night”) I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a cyclist to have front and rear lights and adequate reflectors.
