A Lee Hill resident operates https://www.bikesbesafe.com/. A recent comment made on the site’s comment form communicated a sentiment that C4C hears a lot, especially from experienced riders.
I bike and drive. I want to tell bikers that wearing dark colors is fashionable and slimming, but when the sun is bright and you are in shadow you disappear. I’m sure that’s what happened near Wagon Wheel. Please, please consider using a strobe led both front and back at all times! I’ve noticed bikers with strobes are given more space than non strobe. We want to see you! Please help! Use a strobe! |
Especially while descending at higher speeds, a front facing light makes cyclists more visible.
