    As someone from Sweden. Where the dark night is very long in the winter. Do wear a reflective strap or something so cars can see you…

    Wearing all black in the middle of the night and crossing the road is not a fantastic idea. I would not expect a car to see me until it’s too late. Don’t be an idiot. Make sure you can be seen.

    Sincerely. Someone that bikes more than they drive a car

      It’s good advice. But when it’s coming from drivers it comes of as shifting responsibility to VRUs, or victim blaming.

      Drivers have responsibilities too. Pay attention to the road, get off your phone, drive at slower speed if you can’t see what’s in front of you.
