While I agree that everyone should make themselves visible it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to have a headlight. It is LAW in Florida. Your light must be visible 500 feet away, here is the statute.

His post,to me, sounded like he had the correct equipment. He stated he had an illuminating frt light and blinking rear, that others can see him coming. He does not seem to have a flood lamp lighting a pathway ahead. Do they even make that? So trying to imagine this senerial, he's traveling along,at a good speed,his lights are blinking and lighting the ground,as a flash light might, and BAM there is someone walking right ahead, dark clothes,at the very least not reflective, who goes right,who goes left. Seems to me both have a 50%here. And not for anything,if I was out walking that early I'd have a major flood light in my hands...not for bikes, but for gators or any other creature....lol stay in bed.the 😊
