With the clocks reverting to GMT tonight there will be more risk of cycling at dusk. Riding with the sun low in the sky can be dangerous, if drivers are dazzled and as a result don’t see you. Cycling UK says that “seventeen cyclists and eleven motorcyclists died with “dazzling sun” a contributory factor in 2020, up from four cyclists and six motorcyclists in 2019”. Be mindful that if you are riding into the sun so are any drivers behind you, and avoid riding in such conditions if you can.
