Yeah, you're right, [MENTION=40124]ItsJustMe[/MENTION]. In conditions like that, you need super aggressive equipment like that. I guess my method works for me because of where I ride. There is almost always room for a bike plus a car in our lanes, and there is almost always some ambient light provided by the public sector. Plus traffic speeds in NYC are low.
