Demon Bikes

Has anyone heard of Demon bikes? It's similar to a ghost bike but instead of sitting passively on the side of the road, these are painted blood red and they tend to jump out in front of cars travelling down residential roads at excessive rates of speed, often times they're little kids bikes with pumpkins strapped to them,

Happy Halloween!

Sounds like a recipe for a bad accident.

Traveling at excessive rates of speed certainley can be. I've read of some awful accidents where cars hit bikes, sometimes with people on them.

It's usually the cyclists fault, maybe the car just didn't see him, sometimes these kids ride around at night with no lights, that's always the cyclists fault.

Be careful.

well i'd say startling a driver who's already hauling ass is only making a bad situation worse. say he swerves to the other lane and hits a cyclist going the other way.

Nobody wants to make a bad situation worse, I'm just commenting on something I read somewhere, I think maybe China. As it's been pointed out to me on this very message board "lifes not fair".

Turn your lights on and pay attention.
