Brighter cyclists, and brighter streets

The top picture is Copenhagen in Winter. No one wears hi vis or helmets and street lighting is so good that lights are seen as an option. 
The bottom picture is of Crewe where cyclists and walkers are being urged to Be Brighter. 
Copenhagen has over 40% of commuter journeys by cycle. Crewe has less than 8%.
The photo below is of the busiest cycle route outside Crewe station where the 2 street lights have been out of order for 3 months. Note the moon shining behind the street light! Is this why we need to be so brightly decorated?

    We love the new LED lights, they show up even the smallest hazard on the road and do a lot for safety, and are good for the environment, a win- win! 
      On straight roads a properly lit cyclist can be seen from a long way off, so the odd light out doesnt matter, so I dont report them. Junctions, where headlights dont face the ultimate direction on corners, are particularly hazardous in the dark. Amazingly, these are the points were most lights are out, especially roundabouts where often most of the lights dont work. I have no idea why this might be, do you know?
