It's obvious you're obsessed with flashing lights. They've been used on bikes for 50+ years, so good luck with your flashing light banning campaign. Methinks the issue is YOU.

Maybe focus your energies on road safety campaigns instead. 'Cause pedestrians probably aren't going to be wearing "hi-vis vests or clothing, flashing lights or helmets" any time soon, and they get wiped out by poor driving all the time. I'd welcome the day when I felt flashing lights were no longer required to cycle our public streets. That day in the US I fear will never come. Perhaps I'll relocate to Europe instead.
