Also the amount of cycles I've seen on the road with no lights at all is frightening.

I agree with you, but an explanation of the different types.
As far as i know the lycra clad MAMILs i know spend loads of money on the brightest lights and hi viz gear. People are moaning that the lights are too bright
Another species the commuter is more likely to skimp on poor quality cheap lights and just wear their normal dark clothing, or not bother at all.
Theres another species, the child or teenager who's parents haven't botherd to equip them with any lights.
In my days of doing newspaper rounds at this time of the year, i had to put up with crappy everready lights, but i still had them, as there were still Policemen around who'd give you an almighty bollocking for no lights and speak to your parents.
That's whats missing these days isnt it?
That and public information films on the tv, 'cyclists, be seen, be safe'
