I am in Owings Mills, and I work in the city. I ride 6 miles to the subway, then take the subway downtown. Usually I start early so I can kick in half hour joy ride before work.

On the runtimes, I am not running that long. I know that 45 minutes all my lights are on high they are still running. I estimate that they will go over a hour with quality cells. Cheaper cells will usually go in a half hour. I keep a charger at work, and I carry two extra cells just like I carry a spare tube and pump. Also, running two lights up front has its advantages. Actually, we could just run one, which I do sometime, and the one is more than enough. The two will double your runtime.

For fun rides, I am down at the harbor and I hit the BWI trail..When I am running on the trail, I run a small blinky. Not on the trails at dark or dusk. My lights are strictly for commuting. I have been trying to get Marc to allow full size bikes on the Marc train. To no avail. I use always go to Georgetown on weekends. That was before I was into bicycles. Just been into bicycles for about 2 years. I would love to get over there on the train. There is a alternate route to DC, which includes the light rail from downtown to BWI, then the Metro B30 bus to Greenbelt, then the Metro train into DC. That is a long ride..

I use to stop downtown every morning on my commute and eat breakfast. However, they changed my work hours, and having hit downtown in a couple weeks. Hopefully will be back on schedule. Panera Bread at Pratt and Market Place is my favorite hangout. I can lock my bike and eyeball it while I am eating.

Safe riding to you,,
