Saw a bike, thought it had no lights, got closer to see one LED flashing. As I over took it turns out his rear light had multiple LEDs. His light was on a bracket, I assume designed to be mounted on the right hand seat stay. Instead he had cunningly mounted the bracket on the left hand side and swung the light inwards so it was hidden by his rear brake.
Next up was a lady on a bike, again it appeared she had no lights - this was not the case - just low batteries so the light was just a feeble glow.
Finally at Hammersmith gyratory a man on a hybrid with reasonable light and full dayglo asks me what the name is of my front light, and where to get one. It's reassuring there are some people without an utter deathwish.
