If you are afraid of being attacked by something/somebody in the dark


Yeah, cars. I agree that if your eyes have enough time to adjust to the
dark, a flashlight is rarely needed to see, but it does help in being
seen by drivers.


Years ago, when I commutted by bicycle, if I had to ride at night (not
often), I would rather NOT be seen. I always figured I could see cars
long before they saw me and I would get far off the road and out of
their view. For some reason, at night, people in cars like to harrass
cyclists at night


Especially if they know it's you.

It's always a great idea to ride an unlit bicycle at night in the
company of cars.

I think Darwin said that.

Might be a good idea to change neighbourhoods. Up here it's the law to
carry a light on a bicycle operated at night.
Lots of operators still don't.

You need to spend a week or two at Libertarian camp.

That's because you're an idiot. Just about anything that YOU "think"
is wrong, or a lie.
