Really? This guy thinks these are more dangerous/a greater distraction than, say, xenon headlamps on cars, which completely destroy my night vision?

My headlamp has a flashing setting, but I don’t really use it since the main reason for the lamp is so I can see where I’m going. Accordingly, I usually have it adjusted so it spotlights the street ahead while I’m riding. I can’t think why I’d use the flashing setting when riding a separated bike trail. What would be the point?
