  1. Step away from the nightmare before it starts is my advice There are other properties out there that won't have such onerous issues as part of their package.

  3. Exdullwitcher For information I was the passenger in a taxi so I had plenty of time to spot him, others may not have The question wasn't if I didn't see him but who would be at fault if someone else didn't ? Be it a pedestrian keeping their head down against the driving rain, not seeing him as he had no lights or visibility about him, or a car driver or another cyclist. To answer your point , cats, dogs, foxes and pedestrians often get knocked down at night so they aren't always seen, same as said cyclist. parked cars have reflectors , he didn't and other debris in the road often causes accidents. I feel you have jumped on the anti car soap box with your response but not actually considered the basic question asked. However I get the impression from the way you answered that your view is it would not be the cyclists fault, but if I have that wrong please say so.
  4. Boobies 😳
  5. Before the pro cycling or pro car lobbies get all heated up here, this is not intended to be a discussion where car drivers vs cyclists weigh in. Remember the above if you respond. Last night, in the foul dark wet weather that has become "the Summer of 19" I observed a cyclist with no lights on going along between the oval and Camberwell, it was dark, wet and driving rain. He had low visibility clothing on (black top and jeans) and no lights or reflective devices on his bike. He was virtually invisible between street lights as a result and with the rain even under a street light he was very hard to make out. The question is, if there was an accident involving him, either with another cyclist, car or pedestrian and regardless of how he as cycling (safely or not) would the police take a view that he was to blame for not being visible on such a foul night or automatically blame the other person involved for not seeing him? Excusing the pun but it's a bit of a grey area Personally I wouldn't cycle at night without lights, especially on a night like last night so can't understand why he did.
