I train a lot at night so my bike is lit up like a xmas tree. Not because of any law, but because of self preservation.
I find motorists take a wider berth around me at night than during the day, so in some ways I feel safer training at night oddly enough!

Could not vote because the option I need is not available:
I am not a criminal, but I do occasionaly break the the law.
My indoor trainer even has reflectors as I sometimes ride with the training room lights on very low to prevent heat build up.

Did you see the new poll with all the traffic rules? I removed the word criminal on the new poll

Yep thanks only after I posted the above.
I contributed to the "I'm a law breaker" count.

The one law AARTO should have is that all pedal cycles should be liscenced and that all pedal cycle operators should have a licence disk prominently displayed on the pedal cycle. It should also be law that a pedal cycle operator should have identification when apprehended by an officer of law.

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Number plates would help as they can be used to identify the offender, personalised plates will be cool
I was going to suggest a decal that can be stuck anywhere onto the frame, and then when it gets washed off you have to buy another one, this should increase the funds raised by licensing enough to build buycycle only lanes throught the whole of the RSA.

Not cool, a number plate weighs around 170g. How much will it cost to reduce your bike by 170g to compensate for it?

Mate of mine a few years back made a mini number plate for me which clips onto the bike, i'll see if i can find it and post a pic.
I hope it had the obligatory watermark on this number plate?
