Get lights for the front and back! Get a helmet and get a yellow jacket. I know it looks retarded, but (not just for night ride) the cars will see you much better. You with bicycle vs. Car = Car allways wins!

my advice. stay off the mother fucking road you cunts. i am so sick of cycle tards causing lines of traffic. nobody wants to see your sweaty wannabe lance armstrong spandex you fucks.

Except round here the roads are so clogged I can pass by those lines of traffic rather than causing them

And definitely don't ride on the pavements, it's very dangerous for pedestrians; plus you have to stop to cross the road at junctions where you would normally have right of way.

We have more bikes than people here.
Last time I saw someone with a helmet on a bike is more than 3years ago.

Alright just went on a little ride to work until I got lost haha. Wasn't too scary actually I'm still very apprehensive when taking turns and the fact that I have to use a roundabout. Monday morning traffic has got me slightly anxious.

Get a helmet.
Wear gloves, if you go over the handlebars you land on your hands.
Glasses keep crap out of your eyes.
Your brakes must work, as must every other part.
Flashing lights are the best.
Dayglo jackets are a major bonus.
Don't ever assume a car has seen you.

theres is a huge need for glasses. You know at what speed a bee (or any other insect for that matter) crashes in your eye when on a bike?
