..for the front light

It was a bit misty this morning so I put the lights back on the bike. However after a bit when I was on the main Road in primary position I had a woman pull out on me from a side road cutting me up, she then proceded to immediately turn left cutting me up again, to another minor road, I'm glad I had slowed down or I'd been over her bonnet. I'll give her the benifit of the doubt that my front light wasn't very bright in these conditions or perhaps I need new batteries.

If I had a baby elephant, who would take it for walks?

    ...where are you Aido? Sounds like a search light wouldn't have been bright enough...

    I think you're right about the search light

    Nah. To mangle Oscar Wilde a bit. Pulling out on you once, that MIGHT suggest a weak light (and a dozy driver). Cutting you up twice looks like carelessness...

    If I had a baby elephant, it could help me clean the car. If I had a car.

    Today is the longest day of the year and you need your lights?

    Perhaps she needs to change the batteries.

    It was definitely a bit misty on the east coast this morning; didn't help that my shades kept steaming up too - that turned it into a real pea-souper !

    Cheers !

    I don't think she was a local from looks of her and the car, just too interested in rat running to notice a cyclist

    It's not the longest day of the year as all day lengths are the same.
