Yes, they should have little red blinkie lights, or at least reflectors that would show up in cyclists' headlights.
Or. the City should install the low-wattage, low-to-the-ground walkway-type lighting (which a number of Bikies were advocating during the planning phase of the project) that would illuminate the peds' feet. We saw some 18" high light posts at a cabin in Canada last summer, along the path to the outhouse. They had a little solar cell on the top that charged a recyclable battery. It would set a good example for the City to start getting some of its electrical supply off-the-grid. ** And speaking of bike lights, who has found a reliable, long-lasting bike headlight (specific model)?? I've had bad luck with products from CatEye, Planet Bike, and others. They're great while they last, but the switches and contacts fail far earlier than we should expect from anything costing $15-$25. Does anyone know of a trouble-shooting guide for making light repairs? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2003 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bikies] RE: Stopped for No Light?

I've had too many near bike-on-bike collisions due to bikers in the dark (especially on the very dark Southwest Bike Path). Have at 'em, I say! > Pedestrians also walk the Southwest Bike Path during the dead of night, 99% of them not carrying a light. Ideally, they should have lights, too.
