    Daytime flashing front light: good or bad idea?

    I use flashing lights back and front , with the front angled down so as not to dazzle . I bet the Motorist who complained has dazzled a few in his time , probably us Cyclists .

    Does anyone ride a moped?

    Must be pre-washer time as I have never seen one . The machine is a 3 Speed Auto and gear changes can only be slightly encouraged by judicious use of the throttle .

I have three ranging from 2 years old up to 10 years and they have been 100 % reliable and were reasonably priced...
