Went out for a ride early this morning and it's a time when the die hards come out to exercise. Who comes out at 6am to run, ride, bootcamp, whatever? It's the die hards. I wake up with dread of getting up so early but by the time I am on the bike and riding with others, it's not so bad. It's actually a great feeling.
Then as we ride through the city, there were runners getting their runs in before it gets hot and humid. Bootcampers were training away on park lawns. And of course riders.
Here's an interesting observation, there are riders who are training/riding and then there are the commuters, even this early in the morning, whether going to school or work. Some have lights and some don't. Some even wear dark clothing without lights, very ninja-like as they go in and out of the shadows of the cityscape. I can say the same thing about runners, black is fashionable but it's hard to see you in traffic.
Grant it I understand if you can't buy a light; how about a flashlight, a reflective vest, anything reflective for that matter, wear a lighter color, anything.
I'd show a picture but basically it's just a dark square.
Ride On and Please Ride Safe.
