Yesterday was colder than in a long time, hinting at what winter is like. It was windy, too. I didn't ride, but I mentally braced myself for riding in winter.

Today is a little less cold, and I did commute in. I was fine, of course.

On the bike path, I heard a bell from behind and to my left. I made sure I was far to the right and turned my head for an instant to show I knew the cyclist was there. As he passed, he turned his back and said, "that taillight is so bright it hurts." I said, "OK I'm sorry." I think I have it at the lowest setting but I'll check. It was daytime. Wouldn't he need to keep his gaze on my light for it to hurt? Still, I don't want to hurt anyone so I'll do what I can. It's a Cygolite Hotshot 350 so yes it can get very bright.
