So, I rode home from school after dark this evening with my full light set up (P7 and flashing PB blaze 1W in front, 2 flashing superflashes in back). When I was on a long straight empty residential road, I heard a voice up ahead of me yell "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT THING!?" And then, a second or two later, someone else quipped "IT'S AN ALIEN!"

When I got closer, I noticed that the voices were from two teenage girls walking down the middle of the street about 100ft ahead of me. When they saw I was a cyclist, they started egging me on, "Do a trick, do a trick!". I was a bit flustered, and since I didn't know any actual tricks, I just put my arms above my head and did jazz hands (which ended up looking more like jazz mittens).

They laughed and said "You rock!" as I rode past them.

Anybody have any better ideas for next time?

The end.
