even though the front lite is not that bright, my current concern about winter - nite commuting is:

- How does everyone Signal to drivers when/where you are turning, left or right and stopping? (hand/arm signals don't work, it's too dark!) -

thx!
If you have the reflective ankle straps that have flasing red lights in them on your wrist they work pretty well from behind.
