I just don't fucking get it.

To the bicyclist that I almost ran over on the way home a few minutes ago:

Wearing dark clothing
on a dark bicycle
at night
making a wide turn
onto a dimly-lit street
WITH NO REFLECTORS
AND NO LIGHTS
IS NOT OKAY!!!!

NOT FUCKING OKAY AT ALL!!!!!

GOT IT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Erk. No lights and no reflectors *bad*. I must confess to normally wearing dark(ish) clothes, on a bicycle or not. Though I would've thought the bright red bicycle, the red reflector on the back, the yellow reflectors on the pedals, the white reflectors in the spokes and the white reflector at the front did *something* towards visibility (not to mention the switched-on lights night-time).
