Do you find flashing lights on bikes annoying?


Do you find flashing lights on bikes annoying?

Not if they also use a normal lamp too.
To use just a flashing light is dangerous and illegal on a bike on the road at night.

Not really.

they're for the cyclists safety so no

no my kids love them , and at the end of the day i am sure they are to make kids more visible ... some are too busy having too much of a good time to notice cars .

yes but with these dark nights they are better than the idiots who cycle with no lights.

no just people who ride them in the middle of the road in big groups

No

NO.

It might be annoying to some people but at least it gets cyclists noticed. In my opinion it would be more ANNOYING if you hit a cyclist, don't you think?
When using a flashing light cyclists , by law, should also have a static light on as well.

without them we probably couldn't see the cyclists.

personally i would rather put up with a flasing light than have to deal with running over a cyclist

Yes, plus you're not supposed to have them, they make it hard for drivers to judge distance. How can they see properly? It must be like an old film, where everything flickers.

A bit. not nearly as much as no lights at all. and why don't the buggers get off the pavement?

No, I find motorists that fly past you , risking your life and not their's, who don't give you the legal 6 feet space ( you are lucky to get an inch sometimes) a lot more annoying. And if you wonder who it is keys your cars at night it is me, so go and F yourselves you selfish bassards.

yes. and they're illegal anyway. when they're on your bike they can be on constantly or off. it's explained in the instructions that you could cause accidents with them.

No because one day I was driving my car at 11pm at night and I nearlly crashed into a bike because the person driving the bike didn't have her lights on and she was wearing dark clothes so I could not see her. However, I managed to brake my car in time.

No they are safe.

I find the new halogen lamps in the BMWs and other cars that are following me very annoying and hard on he eyes. I am sure they are illegal

Do you mean the ones in Holland? lmao

No, they're very useful when cyclists use unlit or badly lit roads - they can be seen from a greater distance than ordinary lights.

no, it makes cyclists easier to see

no, when I would ride at night, it makes me feel safe that someone can see me.


I really like riding my mountain bike, the wee one and I have so much fun

    $50 for a bike that fits you and is in good shape is fine if that will satisfy your biking needs. You could spend more than that on a pair of jeans and a bike is far more useful.
