One early morning I was going to work, I was in the car, There was a pitch black burdened with a mass of uniform pouring rain which did not allow me a view worthy of being called decent. Came almost to the parking lot of the supermarket, stop and slow down again for an allotment ... and a ghost appears in front of me Cycling, done up in a dark raincoat, without a minimum of lighting, which, fortunately, sees me and reserved, is because I had not seen, except when it was illuminated by the headlights in front of the nose of my car. As if nothing had happened the guy has continued his frantic races, I guess it was a shuttle to the station, late, not even allowed a moment to look to the motorist that she had not noticed his arrival.
A 'last time I was always in the car, late at night, it was winter and dark, I was going to Vercelli, and I was on the road, almost came close to the city, where the road narrows a bit wide and the white line turns solid. Before me in the lower right corner I see something that turns on and off as a little light: I thought they were the eyes of some wild animal, dazzled by the lights mei: slow down, and then I see a yellow reflective vest, the silhouette of an Finally, the cyclist and shaky and weak light of the lantern powered by a dynamo, and that those two little eyes were nothing but the reflectors on the pedals. The man pedaled piano, the light was little dynamo, but those reflective vests and they put me in alarm.
These two events came to my mind when I saw the video posted by Veloplus , a movie that shows what the driver sees a person in a 50 hour bike at night.
E 'exactly what has happened to me, so in conditions of poor visibility, in the evening or at night, not only cycling but also on foot, let see!
