I literally had a convoy of cars yesterday and I was on the far right riding and no cars on the other side so the cars could have passed but the car behind me seemed to be be amazed and mesmerized by the ball of blinding red light rarely seen on a bike. I estimated about 5 cars driving slow behind that one car behind me. At the red light the driver rolled down the passenger window and asked what light that is because it was the brightest 'insane/sick' (his words now mine

) light he's ever seen and basically gave me 'props/respect' on that and said on a safety note that normally people riding have weak small lights that you hardly notice till you're close to them and it's worst in haze/fog conditions.
Now for the front with the dual lights I do get chuckles and cat calls from time to time. While the drivers that cat call normally are gone quickly after the call but the ones that bug me most are the other riders on the road or humans that smirk some comment about the lights then you flick the 'high' switch and aim at thier head level and they quickly shutup saying 'that's bright man'.
Some ****** kept staring at me, then smirked at me, in the Bathurst and College area. So I looked at him, and stared at him, then he winced and whipped his head away so quick I thought he had whiplash. Btw, I had a Fenix Cree on Turbo on my helmet.
But yeah, a bunch of loud and rowdy punks, near Yonge-Dundas, shouted out at me about my lights just as I biked by, then the idiots started laughing like what he said was funny. Then they proceeded to smoke. I had two cree lights on my handlebars at the time.
