Whilst the above headline is obvious to most people there are an awful lot of cyclists who ignore the need to make themselves visible at night. It is amazingly common to see cyclists on our roads at night riding around with no lights.

Coming home last night I came across the scene of an accident in Hildens Drive by the junction with Berkshire Drive. A young cyclist with no lights had been struck by a car. I have no idea who was to blame for the accident but one thing I do know is that cycling at night without lights is just plain stupid.

We need an education programme to point out the obvious to the lunatics who cycle at night with no lights.
