    :hello:

    Well that was a turn up for the books.

    Waiting in turn to go round a mini roundabout (Edgeley Road near Morrisons Cheadle Heath for locals), a MR2 edges up by the side of me (plenty of room). Me thinks - here we go......

    Friendly pharp pharp on the horn. I turn to look, and the guy has his window down, leans across and shouts.....

    "MAGICSHINE !" ^_^

    I say "Yeh, bright aren't they", he responds, "FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC" with a big grin and gives some thumbs. :thumbsup:

    Traffic now clears, I cross roundabout and he follows - he passes a little further on, and a notice a bike rack on the back of the little MR2 !

    Yey !

    Excellent :smile:

    Reminds me of the time when I was locking my bike up outside the shops, on the way back from work. Car driver gets out of his car and runs over to me....

    I had the same thought: Here we go...

    But no, he came over to thank me for being lit up like a christmas tree :smile:

    And you ride a UFO. Only need a grey skin suit and you'd be sorted.

    I once had a taxi driver start trying to talk to me at a red light, thought the worst obviously, but no, he was just really interested in the butterfly handlebars on my German hybrid!

    I've had a taxi driver wind down his window and thank me for having lights and high-vis. (I have a suspicion that's he'd had a run-in with a less-visible cyclist, just from the way he said it.)
