I've almost collided with them as they suddenly rounded a corner the wrong way heading right for me on the right side of the street as well and, had it not been for the fact that I use two very bright Planet Bike front blinkies probably would have crashed into them. It's one thing to be endangered by motorists and quite another to be endangered by morons with a death wish. They don't deserve to ride a bike.
Yeah, I work and ride in Toronto at night and in the early morning. Mostly I stick to the Lakeshore path, but sometimes you get the guys with no lights there too.
