A cautionary note for early morning riders!!

If you take to the roads and bike paths early in the morning you may be startled by bright lights coming towards you.

You could easily reach the conclusion that a plane has mistaken the bike path for a runway and is hurtling towards you OR that some young country lad is out "spotting" for roos Or that the train has come off the tracks.

Well you would (fortunately) be wrong!! ...but I do now have my new Ay Up lights fitted to my road bike!! Be prepared to be dazzled. They're great - I recommend them.

    While you might find it fun dazzling people on shared paths, it is really a pretty silly behaviour to practice don't you think? Here is a thought, be considerate, and point your lights down a bit so all can enjoyed the paths.

  2. G'day Andrew,
    I think you've taken my blog posting far too literally and failed to recognise it merely portrays just how bright and good the lights are.

    I don't find it fun dazzling people on shared paths NOR is that something I practice.

    I would hope that no one who knows me would ever describe me as thoughtless or inconsiderate. I know very well how dangerous it would be to dazzle oncomers for the dazzler, the dazzlee and anyone else in close vicinity. I am, however, frequently guilty of a sense of humour that can make those who take it seriously look silly.
