In related news, apparently it's mostly "mountain bikes" that aren't
properly lit at night:

33% of those without lights and 17% of those with lights rode mountain
bikes.

so 67% of those without lights were not riding mountain bikes....

Can't tell a thing without total population really. Not to mention
"what is a mountain bike". Flat bar bike?

(Not that I disagree with the general idea that cheap bikes are ridden
by cheap people.)

Easy way to fix it is require bikes to be sold with lights, I believe
they do that in Germany.

(For more fun, mandate hub dynamos on road bikes.... watch the weight
weenies explode!)
