Do you ride on the A449 passing Acton Gate in the direction of Stafford at about 5.20pm every day?
I've seen you on the last two evenings and I wanted to warn you that you're completely invisible to traffic pulling out of Acton Gate.
Your front light isn't bright enough to stand out against following traffic and your reflective top doesn't work side on. To cars pulling out there, you can't be seen at all, until you're in their headlights.
Given the difficulty of getting out of that junction, I'm worried that someone will try and jump out in a gap, without seeing you until it's too late.
I'm a cyclist too. I promise I'm not having a go at you. I just want you to know that you could really do with another, much brighter, front light. Preferably something that strobes. I'd want a flishy-flashy thing on my clothing, too.
Great pace, by the way...
