In the UK it was, and for all I know may still be, illegal to have a flashing LED attached to the bike (although I don't know of anyone who got arrested for it). The combination I go with is constant lights on the bike and flashing LEDs on helmet and bag. Reflective clothing, expecially on the moving parts - ie ankle bands - are good too. On carrying clothes: when I was a cycle commuter, I would, once a fortnight or so, travel by train and take in a suit bag of heavier items - shoes, suit jackets etc. As much as possible I avoided taking that stuff home, but instead just took it for dry cleaning near my office. Shirts I would do in batches at weekends - iron and fold five on Sunday, bring them in one Monday, break out a clean one each day. On riding generally, I wrote ten tips for safer cycling and Mike Little and Mark Lloyd added good stuff too. Also - do any bike riding GTD bloggers want to go riding with Jason Womack in London on 1 october? » POSTED IN:
