Ok, I admit, I am nuts, riding on the San Tomas Aquino Bike Trail at 6 am, where it is still pretty dark (although it is getting lighter). There aren’t many people on the trail at that time, but there are a few.
There are joggers out there … now I commend anyone who gets up that early, to do a workout, quickly get home, shower up, then fight traffic … woof … but if you are going to be out there in the dark, wear something reflective, or better yet, blinkers. When I come behind you, I can only see you and react in a split second. Very dangerous.
Other cyclists … same goes to you too. Wear something reflective, and something that blinks informing the world that you are here. I’ve got reflective bands on both my ankles, a blinking strap around my left leg, front and rear facing blinkers on my helmet, blinkers on my handlebar, blinkers under my saddle, and a forward facing headlight. I want to let people know I am out here.
Lastly, to continue on the bike trail, we do have to cross a street with a traffic light. Now I realize there is no one out there at 6 am, but don’t just cross the intersection on a red light (even if there are no cars around). That leaves a bad precedence. I guess they haven’t seen Harold and Kumar, and the scene where they step off the curb, and immediately get pulled over for J-walking, completely out of the blue?
Ok, glad I got that off my chest.

Sorry I’ll put a blinky on but I’m not waiting there for no darn good reason
