Southern California - Quick Night Ride Update

The arc is nice because it gives helmet or handlebar options right out of the box.. It is a great light and straps to your frame so you don't lose a waterbottle cage for the battery..

Don't think of it as a hobby. It is a health aid. No amount of money is too much for your health.

Seriously, folks, this is 100% true. My parents both have very bad diabetes, and no amount of my good example gets them up and out of the house and onto a bicycle. However, no matter how much money I drop every month/year on tango, ballet, or cycling, it is a fraction of what they have to pay for doctor visits to monitor their condition, for the little blood sugar monitor things, the basket load of pills they have to take every day, emergency appendectomy (my dad has neuresthenia so bad he didn't even know he was ill until he almost died), and what's coming up in the future -- medical costs of amputation, prosthetics and other equipment to compensate for the lack of limbs, special shoes and clothing, home care aids when they go blind and can no longer care for themselves, or drive, eye examinations, etc. The cost of being overweight and unhealthy is staggering. The $200 I had to drop on first aid supplies to take care of this idiotic road rash is a pittance compared to that.

I totally agree with you VP. I would like to add that there is nothing as important to me as my health. Once it became my first priority, I no longer didn't have time for exercise. I was no longer 'too busy' to ride.
