    Those of you who were lucky enough to be out there this morning commuting in the pea souper of a fog (in Essex and East London anyway!), may like me, have noticed the amount of bikes on the road with no lights whatsoever. Whats the story – deal with God? nine lives all intact and happy to lose a few? Born lucky? Can’t be arsed? :/

    Haha, brilliant post. Fog is a bit confusing, I always put my lights on anyway in any sort of poor visibility but can understand why people wouldn’t because I can’t imagine it would have much effect in the fog unless you’ve got really good lights.

    AFAIK, the law doesn’t require lights on a bike in fog. But that doesn’t mean they’re not a good idea.
