A spokesperson for Humberside Police said: "The poor weather and reduced visibility can make riding a cycle at this time of year a dangerous proposition whatever time of day you venture out.
"That said you can reduce the risks of being in collision with a vehicle for instance by ensuring you have bright lights on your cycle, wear high-visibility clothing and where possible avoid poorly lit areas along your route.
I am sorry to say that here in Waltham Forest we have an irresponsible cyclist who has been causing problems for motorists even in daylight.
