I would like to send out a message to the high proportion of cyclists who ride without lights at night.

It is not a requirement of having a driving licence that drivers should wear night-vision glasses or possess the eyesight of a golden eagle.

I guess it's this assumption, together with the undoubtedly exorbitant costs of cycle lights, which encourages the darkly-clad, unseen pedal-pusher to imagine they will always escape the clutches of the Accident and Emergency department.
