  3.0. Aggressive flash and rhrythm modes are incredibly dangerous to all other road users, especially at high lumen. Distracting and dazzling is not "seen".

  100%. The best rear light I’ve used has a mode where the LEDs go round the edge of the rounded rectangle shape, so it’s on constantly, but moving, so it’s easier to track where a rider is. About a quarter of the radius is lit up at any one time, and it kind of fades in/out as it moves around. Annoyingly though the charging was a nightmare.

  2.1 Secondary downlights or floor marking on front lights are unecessary and distracting for riders and drivers alike

  This also seems like a great idea, never used that style of light though so can’t really say how effective it might be.

  Yeah you’re right, @🅑🅐🅣🅣 said the same in the other thread too. I was just curious about the obvious alternative domain name really.

  Could do the whole 'recursive acronym' thing, where the L stands for LFGSS

  Lovely fixed gear and single speed has a nice ring to it

  After all, we’re the friendliest forum on the internet

  That’s a forum I’d be happy to join, to be fair

  Who in their right mind owns and is parking fgss.com?

  (If we wanted to make this place location non-specific presumably that’s what it would need to be, right?)

  I’d happily contribute or be a part of any collective. I’m a web dev so can help on that front.

  And can do monthly payments too.

  I want to write to my MP, but do we have a specific amendment we want to suggest to the bill/enforcement guidelines to make contacting representatives as effective as we can?

  Only thing I can think of is a carve out for sites under a certain size. Anyone have any better ideas?

  There are few threads more sacred than the memes thread. Functional, Maj, Hulsroy. All others are fair game imo
