What about fog...

The most frustrating thing I've experienced recently with cycling hasn't been anything to do with the bike, anything to do with a crazy driver, anything to do with Strava segments, it's been fog.  I don't know what it is but cycling through coastal fog seems like the most unsafe thing to do on the planet.  I can't imagine my little blinking red light in the back is going to show up very well.  I also can't imagine that a blinking white headlight is going to show much much at all.  What's a cyclist to do in fog?  I guess you could opt to "slow down" but that just reduces the length of time that driver coming from behind you is going to see you.

Waiting for fog to burn off is like watching grass grow...
