A nice ride in this AM. I felt a little sluggish, but I think I'm still recovering from 36 hours in a car and a bachelor party and wedding (where I was best man) that all happened between Thursday night and Monday morning. And I worked yesterday. Lots of driving, lots of drinking, lots of errands, lots of dancing, and not too much sleep...

The commute I wanted to talk about was last night's though. It was my first dark commute with adequate lighting!!! My Terralux flashlight came in while I was away and yesterday's evening commute was my first chance to use it. It's not quite as bright as I had dreamed about, but honestly, it's what I realistically expected, and it allows me to see the trail in front of me well enough to ride along at almost the same speed I'd run in the daytime, and it's WAY brighter than the camping headlamp I was relying on to complement my little "be seen" 1 LED Planet Bike light.

All in all, I give it , especially for the $28 I spent on it (including shipping). No bike-specific lights can even come close pricewise in the 200+ lumen category. Other flashlights, yes, but not bike-specific. And as for riding at night, it also gets It's a lot of fun!
