two in five collisions involve a bicycle
 

Pc Mark Pilling, from Abingdon's Road Policing Department, said: "We are
being kept busy. We tend to find once the clocks go back people don't
immediately light their bike up, so this is more than anything a reminder to
people. Forty per cent of all collisions in Oxford involved a pedal
cyclist."

It says in that link that those cyclist stopped without lights could
either pay the £30 fine or "dispute the fine in a magistrates' court
or buy cycle lights within seven days of the notice being issued."

Seeing as how you can buy a set of cycling lights for under £6
(delivered) from Amazon, it's very tempting to go to Oxford and cycle
without lights just to be offered such a good deal from the police.

Why not just do the sensible thing and buy the bloody lights in the first
place?

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
