I just got from PC Florida this afternoon after 3 days there. I had a eye opener while there. While helmets aren't required for riders, EYE protection is. I saw rental after rental scooter on the strip and around all the beach area. Very few of the people riding had eye protecion, shirts, OR shoes. Some had sandals, but many were bare footed as the day they were born. Women/girls riding with their men and they didn't even have on pants or shirts. Many were in bikini suits and bare footed. I saw a few out of town bikers (they were riding sport bikes and cruisers) MOST of them had on protection and were riding like they knew how. Is there something the rental companies are avoiding telling these customers? Sometimes we were in bumper tto bumper stop and go. These kids were scooting up the bicycle lanes and darting in and out of traffic. Maybe a few opinions here? I was really shocked by the obvious disregard for laws and safety.

Answer

Wouldn't you say cycling at night is safer?

I love to cycle, very relaxing and well as good exercise. Where I am from it is extremely busy during the day, and people are always yelling at you and honking there horns when you are on a bicycle. There are many times I felt scared for my life almost getting hit, I have been hit 3 times and twice were right during the day when the driver saw me but he said screw it (just a guy on a bike) and kept going. I cycle at night now, I consider myself advance, my parents cry sometimes wishing I don't go out and due it and have bough me reflective gear, which has almost cost me my life at night. It freaks you out if you are driving and a reflective vest pops up out of nowhere, people don't know what to do at all. Now I ride with black sweat pants, and a black hoodie, I always where a helmet (number 1 rule) I ride with head phones, and I ride about a $1000 bike with out a little ding ding bell. I ride against on coming traffic and I am looking back every 15 seconds and studying drivers. I am a fan of alley cat racing in nyc (youtube it) but I am in a midwest medium cize city. I never ride on highways avoiding that bottle getting thrown at me. I would rather have the driver not even see me and if I see a car vearing off the road I get away. I can get up to 35mph on a flat road (done it during rush hour lol) At night you have street lights and less cars are out, and people have tried to chase me but I just laugh and ride circles around them, even if they are driving a car lol. I can go in and out of cars, alleys and I have road between a foot wide space since the bike is only 8 inches. Does this make me crazy? or smarter than the average cyclist?

Cops see me all the time, and I have never been stopped not once, if you don't have bell on your bike you are breaking the law, and headphones is a ticket too.
I ride on the left side of the road, I still look back and when I see someone coming my way, I just get in the right hand lane. Man up and try it sometime, the city is beautiful when no one is out, makes you appreciate where you live.
Mattman, you are a joke, wtf I have had water balloons and bottles thrown at me walking down the side walk, teenagers get all hoped up on dope and do stupid things but you have your head in your ass and live in a closest
