yeah but you know what's hard on actual life? gettin hit by a car... (totally kidding).

i know that there are real impacts to battery life with that mode and i dont have a real solution for people who have long commutes. mine is quite short so luckily for me, i can use that mode without regard for when i last charged my batteries.

Yesterday, i crossed a bucket list item off of my cycling check list - i rode around in NYC all day. i know it isn't a huge deal but it's something i've always wanted to do. i remember seeing that the triple flash mode is the one that lasts the longest so that's the one that i chose to use all day. for the front i used a Bontrager Ion 100r on the random flash setting. when it got dark though, i did switch the tail light to the steady flash and used my cygolite metro 1100 lumen on medium. worked out fine for me.
