Is there a bike light law?

Well, that just depends on which side the pie is on.

Straight down the middle then, in search of more pie.

Good visible location too.

*At night a bicycle must also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if manufactured after 1/10/85).*

its a bloody good job my bike is built in 1978, otherwise i'd have been pulled over hundreds of times for having no pedal reflectors... the Old Bill must be very good at deciphering frame numbers from 100 paces...

So where's the point in trolling then?

Everyone else has lights and makes the same presumption.

Mmmmm Boxxy

well several people disagreed
some agreed.

Sorry I though this was a forum.,, how fucking silly of me.

It is a forum, how fucking silly of you indeed =)

Got to love the Irish....bless

You've got your name on a speed dial or something? :-0

I nearly wiped out a commuter on my way home today.

The guy had no lights, but I still saw him.
Its just that, I'm seriously sleep deprived right now, and forgot about the empty kiddie trailer I was pulling :S

Being tired and in a shit mood I jumped in before he had chance to complain and said "Get some lights you idiot".

WAC

I haven't said that. Lorry drivers sometimes do....and bus's and black cabs etc.....etc

'buses'

You're an idiot, btw...

Got to love the Irish....bless

+1

Everyone does =)

apart from the Irish

I love the Irish, ergo you're wrong.

How do you know he was going to complain?

I had just come within an inch of knocking him off his bike with my trailer. Dont think he was about comment on how my tights excentuate my thighs.

meh.

they do though.

be a shame not to light them up.

Oh, now I know why our very own Mr TeeBee has so many lights on his whip :-)

Maybe you belong on top of a Christmas tree

Let me know when your erecting yours and I'll dust off my fairy outfit.

no Xmas here

Are you John Quays?

this thread is bronze

Are you John Quays?

Ha! 'no Christmas for John Quays'

Love it :)

I am not telling you how to ride. Do as you want and I'll do the same :)

Err no ... Riding without a set of lights and thus breaking the law is quite frankly irresponsible and stupid. Not only are you risking hurting yourself, you could also cause an accidents with road users other than yourself. You are obviously a complete pratt.

Obviously anyone who disagrees with your view is a complete and utter pratt.

This forum is great :)

'prat'.
It is great, isn't it?

Wait, now it's a forum? I thought earlier you said how fucking silly it was of you because you thought this was a forum, does that mean you're now saying that you're fucking silly?

Some clarification is required here.

I did before I posted that, hence quoting your phrase, so are you agreeing that you're fucking silly then? I think that doing something that is fucking silly, then being so fucking silly as to do the same fucking silly thing again meets the requirements for being classed as fucking silly.

yeah, I like the personal spell-checker facility. Great touch.

De nada, knob-head...

You never fail me do you Platini old mate :)

Sorry, didn't see you there.

You dropped this - ?

Urban dictionary seems to disagree.

EDIT: However a quick google on prat brings up buttocks ...

So you are probably correct.
