The people I've seen with front-facing tail lights are riding with traffic. To put this in perspective, it is not nearly as boneheaded to do that than it is to ride against traffic, but it is perplexing, to say the least. [MENTION=190611]joeyduck[/MENTION], I appreciate your "stupider after the answer" point. I will try to bear that in mind to keep me from getting too irritated at stupidity.

That's one good reason. I appreciate that. The incidents I am speaking of are here in NYC where the road is so well lit that a headlight can't even add light to the surface, so that doesn't explain this behavior.
