I hope you like the Cygolite; I kinda hate mine. Light is fine, but the switch actuation makes me nuts; it's vague and imprecise. I don't like the form, either, though I have the Expilion 700, which is a bit bigger than the Pace, I believe. The mount stinks, too, with no detents for side-to-side postions, so it's easy to bump out of place. Not a huge deal, but annoying to me.
Be careful out there tonight; those football fans are largely drunk and therefore idiots. I had two yell at me this afternoon as I rode by. One jumped to the curb, threw his hands in the air, and yelled, "look out!" The other one bellowed in my ear, "Hey Lance!" And this was at 1:40. They'll be totally rocked by nightfall...and angry if Notre Dame is winning.
Hey chaadster,
I ended up walking, because I had a feeling it would be CRAZY, and I was right. Hope you kept your cool better than I would've in the jumping out in front of you situation. I had a similar (sort of) situation happen to me last summer when I first moved here. I was coming home from my first ride downtown with Lola, and was stopped at a crosswalk waiting to go, when some guy in a BMW rolls up, stops, and yells at me "You'd better go before I run you over." Then, he and his Prada-clad GF had a good laugh. I was embarrassed, but kept my cool, and rode on home. I still tell that story to this day, because it pisses me off! So, I make sure I am extra careful around cyclists due to being both a cyclist and a driver myself.
Hope you enjoyed the game and the win!
