The ultimate in rear lighting for a bicycle...

Saw this outside the local Target about 30 minutes ago, and took a
picture of it with my phone (this is photo of the rear of the bicycle):

Definitely someone going to extreme measures to get the attention of
overtaking motorists. That green paint job would be visible from some
distance away.

When I was walking up to the store he was just parking his bike and all
the lights were on. Very visible. Must take him a minute or so just to
switch them all off. There were a lot of lights on the front as well.

The extra weight and wind resistance must give the guy a good
workout.

That's just a _wee_ bit obsessive. The amount of money spent on
batteries alone must be ridiculous. When I see things like that, I
figure that the person must have had something happen to them or
someone they know to go to such extremes

Something like living in California?

Lots of near misses by oblivious self-absorbed people could do that to
you, even before one of them actually got you. I have seen similar
rigs in different unrelated places, though. I'm guessing it's a
personality quirk.

A bit over the top. However, I am a firm believer in lighting at
night. But, I don't want it to look like a conglomeration of ****
either. Here's what I use.....

Your local Tonton Macoutes don't give you any static about your blue
light?

Not yet. I don't think they take bicycles too seriously out here.
