I actually just got a superflash tails as well for better chance of being seen. I do not want to be rude but I do not want to be unsafe as well. Would love to hear what BF has to say on this. Thanks a lot.
The way I look at it is that this is very true in a group ride, but when I am out commuting to work by bike everyday, it's more about survival than making friends.
