“I ride my bicycle in a sideways world
keeping my balance while the cars pass overhead…” –Jason Crane
Give me intrigue or give me death?
In my two rules of bike lighting I mentioned the importance of using your lights to create “intrigue” for other road users.
Let me make it plainer: when riding at night put a flashing light and a static light on the front of your bike.
Lighting rig revisited
Daylight saving time has just kicked in here, so I thought I’d go back and have look at how my lighting rig worked out this winter, particularly with the addition of a high-intensity Ay Up headlight.

As I said last week, vision and visibility are what I’m after in my bike lights. But enough of the theory, how do I make it work in practice?
My two rules of bike lighting
In southern latitudes, daylight saving has recently ended and commuting cyclists find themselves suddenly plunged into darkness in the early evening. It’s around this time every year that Bicycle Victoria rightly reminds riders to Light Up.

“Bicycle riders should know their proper place, the ditch on the side of the road.” –’Brighton Snob’.
Where law and logic don’t mix
Make sure you have a front headlight on your bike–so that you are visible to drivers behind you.
Thoughts and observations on rear visibility
Maybe I should be over it, but I’d still constantly amazed by death-wish cyclists who ride at night without adequate lighting.
Dark days and nights for cyclists
Will fines make more cyclists see the light?
Cyclist road deaths doubled last year
Did you know that fourteen Victorian cyclists died in road crashes last year?
