I lit them up with the two PB 5 LED Beamers, the NR MiNewt X2's (one helmet, on handlebar), and the NR MiNewt 600 Cordless, all in flash mode. As I got closer, I could clearly see the hand of the kid covering his eyes as I approached.

I know... Overkill, but it was a quiet residential street, and I was the only thing moving on it (except for a ped w/her dog).

Lately while riding on the roads at night, I use the MN600 on walk, the helment MNX2 on low, the handlebar MNX2 on strobe, and the PB's as last resort backups. Trails, and typically I'll turn off the strobes. Which was exactly what I was doing when this game started, as I had just returned to the road from a trail.

Had the kid started moving the car, I would have immediately stopped the strobes, and gotten onto the sidewalk (which is legal in Oregon).
