- elric 6y agoEven bicycle headlights are now getting so bright that I find them to be painful [1]. Unlike cars, their placement isn't regulated at all, and many cyclists seem to think that pointing them slightly upwards is a good thing. Or worse, they'll wear helmet headlights which are pretty much at eye level. [1] I'm a bit more sensitive to light than most people, I get migraines and have low grade photophobia 24/7.
