So many times I have had close calls with bike riders in town, with no helmets, lights or even reflectors, which I thought were a legal minimum, whatever the time of day.
Spending a few hundred pounds on a bike could easily be a waste if you are not clearly visible.
Many shops sell very cheap lights and batteries which are easily to fit and replace, unlike a broken head.
