Driving back from Austin Texas we passed a Social Night Ride group down town. We were stopped at a light and one bike was lit up so bright it was like strobe lights on his bars. I literally had to shield my eyes before driving on. I can surly see the need. And not just bicycles. Scooters, runners, skaters too should use lighting. I still think that reflective clothing is a must and lighting second. I have noted that having two rear lights helps with depth perception on approaching vehicles. I have also noted that those reflectors on the pedals and those stupid reflectors in the spokes really do work. I like using the ankle reflective bands and I use reflective tape on my spokes instead of the standard plastic reflectors.

One of my biggest worries are those drivers who are subconsciously attracted to bright flashing lights like moths to flame.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with...



Sure glad we are past these days!
