Some people simply don't get the point. The poster is pleading with foolish people walking in the dark to please carry a light. I ride my bike most days early in the morning when it's very dark. I have an LED headlight and a blinking LED tail light on my bike. The headlight can easily be seen from 500 feet, but it doesn't illuminate my path for 500 feet. This morning there were three stupid people out walking in the dark without a light. When I went by the single person, I told her she should carry a light for her own protection. No response. The second encounter was two women without a light, one on each side of the multimode path walking toward me, and I was forced to ride my bike (slowly) between them. I was within 40-50 feet before I saw them. What in the world were they thinking? Several other walkers were out this morning carrying a light. Smart people.
