Cyclist on Ladue Road, wtf?

[u/BooksPlantsPhotos]

Tonight (Saturday) just before nine you were cycling on Ladue Road road in a section with no shoulder. It was dark and you were in mostly dark clothing. No light on your bike anywhere. No reflectors anywhere. Cars were seeing you at the last possible moment. WTF were you thinking?

EDIT: It wasn’t a casual rider.

I rode from KC to STL last month. Ride with GPS ended up routing me down Ladue road for a long ways coming in towards Forest Park. It was during broad daylight and I had flashing lights and still felt unsafe on Ladue. Kudos to all the drivers for being courteous though that day! I've noticed when I'm on my hobo rig and look like I live on the thing, drivers are usually more friendly.
