On the subject of lights in the last month I have added a 2nd flasher on the rear wrapped my rear rack with reflective tape and bought some tire flys (those little flashing lights you attach to your stems) those puppy's made the biggest difference I notice that people see those more than any of the other lights I have as for the commute last night I was tired dragged butt the whole time. This morning was much better about 40F and no rain can't really ask for much better!
