[opless]

In fact a cyclist came out in front of me from the pedestrian exit of the local railway station car park. Completely out of control and realised he was being a plonker. Stopped in the middle of the road ( a nice blind 90 degree one) looked at me deer-in-headlights and waved thankfully as he rode off.

No lights either, but a helmet.

I fail to see what kind of uptake a flashing orange light on someone's wrist or bike would help if most folk who use them do not even carry a spare set of batteries for their bike.

The serious cyclists do make themselves very visible and are a pleasure to see alas they number one in ten or so :-(
