I am almost tempted to bring my thrower, and have it ready to shine on these rude cyclists faces; and ******* cagers who insist on having their brights on.
When you are on a unlit path, and going 30-40 MPH, then yeah, that is different. Just make sure they are not pointing at my eyes. You wouldn't want me to do that to you when you are going down that hill.

(P.S. do not be suprised that your cygolite's are really around 300 lumens each)
Oh I see, you want to purposefully blind people because you dont approve of their light choice for their own riding. Classy.

I'll assume you are venting. I understand vs cars due to the fact they have two blazing headlights, and all the comforts of home with their big toe controlling 200+hp and they blame me for "making them late" or having a "bright light"; for cyclists I dont see the need to exact revenge.
