I rode home yesterday at dusk. It was raining and the wind was howling--29 mph with gusts over 40. I needed my generator lights, but they were fickle and stopped working. Boy was that frustrating. All I had was the blinkie on the back of my helmet. So, sometimes people have the best intentions but it doesn't work out.

Don't know what to do--lately, my lights work about half the time when it rains.

Getting back to these cyclists who rode without lights, they could have been stuck. Time change just happened Saturday and they just didn't consider that. Also, there are lots of people who think the street lights are enough. The problem is they can't be adequately seen by others, and they don't realize it.
