Sound like fun , in all starts to become normal after a while .

I like the times you are riding along and you are trying to keep track of 8+ cars , drive ways, ninjas , your self. glass and the traffic lights .

As for you light, I can't speak for others but as long as it isn't aimed up at my eyes i have no problem with it. I am/should be shoulder checking and/or have a mirror and normally don't get caught out to badly.

You should do the same commute on a Friday night 5 30pm .... that can get scary
