I wonder if his sequencing of commands was intentional ...I bet he has a laugh every time I write about it.

Heh...I just avoid the sink estates entirely.Another good thing is when you ride on the paths through the sink estates and encounter gangs of youths.
I guess you pay for what you getYou can always rely on Martin for the, er, gold-plated solution:

Dave - Fancy another go one one of my bikes this weekend??That's what I was thinking too.
At least you will get a good view of the dazzled motorist in the second before he catapults you into the after life.I guess you pay for what you get
This 2500 lumen light... We call it the day-light.. because it can light up the pavement outside brighter than the sun..
Ever been driving along and seen something coming towards you and thought what the f**k is that??!! This is THAT.

I'll probably pop in and see you if you're there.Dave - Fancy another go one one of my bikes this weekend??
We have the 'nut-cracker' on demo in the eBike Village (NEC).
Except that is only the case if the car approaching has main beams on. The increasing effectiveness of the cutoff on dipped beam with projector headlights means there's not much light up above the cutoff to reflect back. Doesn't stop me trying mind, but I think I'm going to clip reflectors onto my SPD pedals this winter!
They're great for those really cold winter days. Forget expensive bike gear. Even in sub-zero temperatures, I have to unzip mine a bit to cool down.Looks like my Hi Viz jacket which I sometimes wear in the winter but it makes me to hot ??.
They're very bright - even reflecting dipped beams and any other light about. You have to see one in the dark to believe it.Except that is only the case if the car approaching has main beams on.

Hi Dave,I'll probably pop in and see you if you're there.
Alright, keep your hair on. They're not compulsory - yet.Hi Vis jackets are bright in car headlights but I'm not riding in a plastic sweat jacket.
Yes. These jackets are like invisibility cloaks in the daytime, but if someone knocks you off at night time, they can hardly say, "I didn't see him", when your lying there so bright that people have to shade their eyes.I'm not concerned about that - they're not going to be made compulsory, and neither are helmets for that matter (although I do wear a helmet some of the time).
No, what concerns me is the inevitable victim blaming whenever a cyclist is serious injured or killed by a motorist.
