  • i have no lights on the rear :/

    Get one two NOW!

    The last week of cycling home in pitch black along a minimally lit road in Hyde Park at around 5ish in the evening has scared me a bit, it's a long straight road with only two sets of traffic lights between the Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park Corner so cars, mainly taxis, tend to really bolt down it, and there's lots of dark shadows from the trees so I feel like my visibility is poor. I have front and back knog lights which are fine for most roads, but I'm thinking of getting something else, but I don't know what would be the most effective. Any suggestions? Should I go for some reflecto gear or more lights?

    I drive loads, particularly in the London rush hour and see more than a few cyclists. The lights that stand out from the crowd are flashing and with good batteries. Reflective gear stands out from a distance and more so in unlit situations but IMO lights are more important in London.
