A South African biker spotted a Checkers Sixty60 delivery rider and fitted extra lights to his bike so drivers can see him after dark. TikTok creator Doc Marty's Mushrooms (@docmartysmushrooms) posted the 38 second clip on 10 November, and it has about 82,000 views.
In his caption he says he spent a small fortune trying to light up delivery riders at night because, as a motorbike rider himself, he knows how devastating a fall can be. He also calls it a fun project that taught him a lot about new tech, and asks his followers whether he should do another one. Briefly News, which covered the clip on 11 November, describes the light as solar powered. Checkers has not publicly responded to the video.
