1. Get better lights, "be seen" LEDs are not enough when entering enemy territory.
Definitely need good lights for backwoods routes. When winter came, my mate stopped using the NCN and switched to the A90. Despite the traffic it was safer. (Interestingly, this is no longer legal due to the TRO. Go on. Arrest me!)

2. Pay attention you dozy bugger, less of the dreamy "enjoying the peaceful night/morning air" and I'd have seen the ambush in time.
But that's why we (Some of us) ride. The full attention weaving through traffic thing can be fun, but the enjoyment (for me) of a decent ride is seeing all the things, I'd never have a chance to notice when driving.

I agree, although I'm very happy in heavy traffic I also love the fact that cycling can be so relaxing at times. That's one of the main reasons I enjoy night riding so much, everywhere is so much more peaceful, the wildlife is more apparent and there's less distractions to intrude on the simple joy of being out and about and pedaling merrily away to your own rhythm. It's a shame that has to be spoiled by some halfwits being deliberately malicious. Oh well, modern life and all that.
