We cyclists know about nighttime visibility, right? Some of us are lit up like Christmas trees. I'm not sure I can ever have too many lights.
But pedestrians don't always get this. They go j-walking across 5-lane roads in complete darkness. But that's not all.
Years ago, I was talking with my math teacher about the benefits of walking. She decided to take it up, but it was too hot during the day. I warned her about my experiences with nighttime walking, how cars don't expect you to be there.
I later learned that she had been killed one night by a car while out walking. How tragic!!
