When I was a lad I remember there was a campaign appealing to people on bikes to stop getting themselves killed.
Loads of people used to cycle around in the dark with no lights, and of course dressed head to toe in dark clothing.
There was a rush on sales of lights, reflectors, and those belts.
Well that will only get you so far.
I mean once you have all that gear you're obviously going to want to have the right eyewear. Right?
Evidently so.
I passed some clown, not an actual clown, but a guy on a bike the other night and it was dark. Not getting dark but actually dark. He had the light, a little thing flashing away on the front of his bike. And a reflective vest. Good so far. And orange wraparound shades.
I mean if they are going to chuck you on a stretcher and ferry you into hospital you need to look cool right. Especially when they are all laughing at you in the hospital after you crashed into a parked car. Because you couldn't see it what with having your orange shades on. In the dark.
