In the video, the pitch black road highlights parked cars when passing them.
When the car approaches Euxton Juction from Pear Tree Lane, a cyclist figure can be seen entering the country road.
As they cycle past John, the cyclist disappears into the darkness of the unlit road.
John C commented: ‘Clocks change and some people on bikes still don’t get it? For £25 you can get a hi vis top and a set of reasonable lights. This individual dressed in dark clothing, no helmet and no light… I despair as a keen cyclist myself.’
