At around 6pm, he set off for the cycle ride to Redbourn along the A5183 wearing his fluorescent bright cyclist anorak and a helmet.
The last CCTV sighting of Mr Greenwood cycling out of the city centre in St Albans showed that the lights on his bike were not on at that stage.
But it may have been because he was in a well lit area, said Peter Shaw, prosecuting.
The court was told Mr Greenwood was seen by a number of motorists on the A5183 riding slowly and in a straight line near the kerb.
Jail for driver who killed cyclist as he exchanged flirty WhatsApp messages with woman he'd only met online!
A driver who killed a cyclist as he exchanged a flurry of 'trivial' text messages with a woman he had only met online has been jailed.
Accountant John Michell, 26, was distracted at the wheel as he drove home along a dark and unlit road and struck cyclist Mark Greenwood.
The 57-year-old was thrown from his bike and died from multiple traumatic injuries after being struck by Michell's Volkswagen Golf at around 6.25pm on January 9 last year.
The court heard the keen cyclist had been wearing a high visibility jacket and other motorists had been able to see him.
St Albans Crown Court was told that in a period of two minutes and 21 seconds leading up to the collision, Michell composed three WhatsApp messages and read - at least once - two messages he had received.
At around 6pm, he set off for the cycle ride to Redbourn along the A5183 wearing his fluorescent bright cyclist anorak and a helmet.
