Daylight Saving Time means riding in the DARK....
Well, it's that time again, Daylight Saving Time kicks in on this next Sunday morning and that means leaving for work in the DARK. I'm one of the lucky ones, I ride a short 8.25 mile ride to work and the same distance back in the afternoon. Work doesn't start until 8am, so I normally get on the road just after 7am, so I have time in the office to clean up and get dressed and set for the day. Today, I was checking at 6:05am how light it was, and there was light in the eastern sky, but pretty dark on the ground. With the time change, that's what Monday morning will look like. I have a couple of cheap lights on the front of my bike, but worry about being able to see trash on the roadway on the ride in. Additionally, my boss, the District Manager has basically told me he "did not want to see me on that bike next week, it'll be too dark..." So I'm kind of wondering what I should be doing. I think if I had the RIGHT light, I could see the trash on the roadway and still get to work safely...
