I was tired and my legs were rather sore this afternoon, but my commute was nice. There were three of us all heading up the hill together, which is more people than I have seen since the summer at the same time and keeping up with one another.

I saw another guy who was doing a good job trying to be visible but failed. He had one of those lighted helmets. It was neat looking but I did not think it was that great. The light was on a slow flash on the front and was bright but it easily blended into the background and I did not notice him coming towards me until he crossed in front of me onto the pedestrian bridge over the river. The back light was promising, if he was not wearing a backpack which blocked the light completely from behind. I passed him and let him know. Then he passed me again and I still could not see the rear light.
