I was at a recreational day tour a number of times over the years. At the lunch venue (an arena) they also had some vendors. One fellow sells these really bright extremely obnoxious strobe lights for either front or rear on a bicycle. They are obnoxious even in daytime.

A number of years ago I was riding back into town along a two-lane pave road when an idiot coming the other way on his bicycle was running a very bright strobe light. It was so bright I had to pull over because I could not see where I was going any more. Took a while to recover. I had a light on my bike but it was totally overpowered by that guy's strobe.

Going to use a strobe light? Please turn it on, walk away from your bike a bit and then turn and look back at it to see just how it can affect approaching traffic.

Cheers
