Get Some F**king Lights

I can imagine the logic though..

"I paid £50 for this piece of shit to get me to work. It's cheaper than the Tube."
"How bloody much do lights cost?!"

Even the cheapest set is gonna be what £20? That's gotta be the same value as some of the shitters I see people riding to work.

Obviously I'm not justifying it and often call people out for it but just thinking that's what people without lights are thinking. More expensive bikes without lights though.. hmm.. not sure. Accident or stupidity. I've done it myself though so I'm never too harsh on 'em. "Your batteries are flat" suffices.

You can get perfectly decent lights for a couple quid.

Poundland even does decent lights for £1 a pair. They are the same kind that used to cost about £6 on ebay a few years back. I used a set for ages, they were fine but the batteries died a little quicker than quality lights and they were slightly less robust. But still good.
