Please wear some form of reflectors and/or lights so that cars can see you! I decided to go a few blocks tonight to grab some food like I always do, despite telling me always myself that I should get some helmet lights before I do it again.
I managed to get hit by a driver who didn’t see me while he was turning left. Thankfully, I was only hit by the side of the car as I managed to accelerate out from the front of the car and got away with a single scrape.
Even better, a cop saw the whole thing and gave the guy a ticket. I probably should have gotten one too now that I think about it haha but I think the cop thought I was a kid (since I’m a 5’2" fully grown manlet).
Either way, I got off scott free but that may not be the case for everyone else who gets hit by a car at night.
By the way, any recommendations for budget helmet lights?
Yeah lights or reflectors are super important. At the moment i ride the blink s2 to wok, it already has got some front and rear lights. If you need inspiration for lights, go take a deep dive into this thread
Yeah, the way he asked if I was hurt and if I would make it home sounded like he thought I was a kid. To be fair to him, I lost the genetic lottery when it comes to height and vocal chords.
i’m crazy dude in the middle of no-where… pitch black! no street lights
the most crazy place you ever went camping… ever…
I have 24 x 3w cree in a reflector, needless to say it is a lot more than most, but where I live there are no street lights
If youre on budget and dont want to install anything permanently on board i would suggest a strong headlight. This way u will always have light in direction you are looking.
no doubt something got lost in translation, but that is some funny ass shit
