finally had an oppurtunity to watch a biker with one of those flashing red
leds at night on a rural road--biker had on one of those fluroresent jackets
and no reflectors on pedals ( i consister them a must have)

i imagined i was in a car

the flashing lights i would have found distracting
the jacket i could not make out what it was as biker had one of those
handlebars you can lean on

i would have never i repeat ever ride on this road--we had a hit and run
bike accident this summer

biker probably knew about it as he/she was heading over bridge to city
island and all there would have heard about it.

there was a bike path where i would have ridden

biker i am convienced was trying to commit suicide

led lights where visable for a mile--but not sure they would have made a
difference--road had tons of curves on it and i would have been distracted
looking at them

anyway just some comments

peter
ps i have one of those flashing led lights
