Nice cool ride in this morning with a new light. I got the Cygolite Dash 320 and man, what a difference. I had been using a mostly useless single LED blinky light. Not very bright. The battery finally died on it, so I ponied up and got a real light.

Two observations from this morning:
1. A car pulling out of a subdivision, normally not a lot of traffic, no street lights. Very unlikely he would have seen me with my previous set up. I instinctively grabbed the brakes. But no doubt he saw me this morning. He stopped, I proceeded on my merry way.
2. Lots of rain last night. Big puddles all along the road. Without the new light, I ridden through most of them in the darkness of morning. I would have been a soaked mess pulling into work.

Very happy commuter today
