Tonight lot of unlit bikes, unlit peds and blinding oncoming head torches and bike lights. In years gone by I would shout out BLINDING etc but now i just thank the odd person who dips. Towpath is an endurance until the WoL Path then it is fairly good. Was chatting to the muralist in the tunnel, big jump forwards. He says spring 2020 but is maybe 2/3rds done?

@gembo I suppose yesterday lots of people were caught by surprise with the darkness (and that will continue that for the next few weeks).

It's possibly the lesser of two evils. Overly bright lights are better than no lights.

For them maybe. Not for me.

Cap, dip your head instead of shouting.
Its much more effective than howling at the moon.

Get a massive nerf gun with a drum magazine and strafe them while screaming BLINDER. They'll get the hint.

@bill, yes the darkness comes around every year and yet still surprises people
