As long as you're well lit, that is.

Speaking of biking while lit .. It sounds like it is probably possible to get a DUI while on a bicycle.

Sorry to be a party pooper. Mostly I just like posting long URLs =]

I'm almost certain that it's illegal as hell. Of course, you make a smaller dent in things when you run into them on a bicycle. Could still cause serious damage to those who swerve to avoid your sorry self, though.

I don't use a light and I like it that way. I don't expect anybody to see me and that's how I want it. Totally covert and incognito. For this reason I never assume anyone can see me, thus preventing myself from becoming an unassuming target of moronic drivers.
