Today was my first day commuting to work in the dark AND home in the dark. I have a TON of work to get done before I take three days off for my parents coming into town next week. The temps are super cool right now, this morning it was 68* when I headed out and I thought the first mile about turning around and getting my sleeves as I wasn't warm. I figure at 64* I'll wear sleeves. Anything above that I think I can tough it out! After the first mile I warmed up and felt really good in the temp. I added a bunch of reflectors to the bike, helmet and a couple extra taillights. A co-worker this morning saw me coming in the building and commented that I looked like a walking reflector. That's the idea!
This 'police station' is watching the intersection, I always get a kick out of checking myself out at the stop light....
I'm feeling pretty bright and easy to see. If I could I'd wrap myself in Christmas lights! I'm shopping for a new REAL headlight, but with the wide range of options out there (not to mention price range) I want to do all my comparison due diligence. I don't even understand the differences between LED, HID and NiCD....I know I have to make a choice soon so I'm reading everything I can and really thinking hard about what lines up with my needs the most.
Kind of like the big race that is going on right now!
