I have seen some cyclists mostly kids riding against traffic at night and all of them had no lights...only the stock relectors... We (wife and I driving) could see them "barely". But not until we got really close. I see tons of bikes out (mostly kids) now...and everyone who is on the street is without helmets (don't flame me). I have seen other adults riding on the sidewalk most of them against traffic. There needs to be a massive PSA blitz around this time (spring / summer or even FALL). Most people give up bikes in the Winter. It is only the extremely crazy (like me) ;0) I have told some kids about lights and helmets but they just get a "dear in the hedlights" look. Hope the kid fares well.
