A great start this morning! I fell off my bike on the street in front of my neighbor's house! - Looking at my watch instead of where I was going, lost control in some loose gravel (road being re-constructed) No injuries or damage it was a slow capsize, and my feet came out of the toe clips even though I was horizontal.
Then I had to wait for a slow moving 99 car (I might have missed one or two) freight train. I noticed that not one of the cars & trucks waiting shut off their idling engines for the 7 or 8 minutes it took for the train to pass! (I always shut mine off when waiting)
Today's weather: temp between 2c at home and 5c near Lake Ontario (water temp is still fairly warm, warms up air temp in the vicinity), slight head wind. I was wearing t-shirt, plus long sleeve t-shirt, windbreaker, track pants over my shorts and cotton work gloves over my bike gloves. Everything was comfy, except my backpack would't allow the windbreaker vents to work, so I was a little too warm.
I tried my new Planet Bike Dual Spot LED/Halogen (cost around $20.00) on the very dark unlit bike trail - Works very well, seems to be the ideal solution for me (mostly well lit streets where LED blinkie is sufficient, short stretch of total darkness where the Halogen light is great) This also has a quick release so it's easy to put on different bikes.
