Took this picture this morning on the way to work. I've been traveling with my foam pumpkin this week for Halloween! I get zero points for originality though, since I got the idea from @bconneraz last year.

nice pic -- u should cut out the top of the foam pumpkin and just carry stuff inside there instead of panniers!

What's going on with those red lights -- do you have some kind of light system that goes all the way around the wheel and a computer controls it to sense the inertia and only light on the upswing?

Actually, the pumpkin already has holes... because it's a jack-o-lantern. You just can't see it in that picture. I have a light inside so it glows during night commutes.

As for the wheel lights, they are Revolights (revolights.com), and work pretty much as you describe. I haven't re-mounted the front one back on the bike yet. (I took them off for the summer/fall months)

Yep, that's my 330Ci. It now qualifies for low-mileage-insurance because I've been commuting so much.

This is the most recent image. I just replaced the saddlebag with an xlab mezzopod but don't have a good pic of that setup yet.

Looks like a bluetooth speaker, perhaps a Jawbone.

How did you get water-bottle cages mounted onto your fork? It looks like you might have 3(?) brazeons on each side of the fork?

You have a few options for this but there are two easy ones:

1. Ogre Fork
2. Enabler Fork

I have the enabler fork from a previous build that allows bottle cages mounted to the side or Anything Cage. It is a real nice system to have, since I have the frame bag those bottle mounts are now gone. I do not carry much water when I commute, usually a stanley coffee mug and sometimes a kleen kanteeen stainless steel, or beer.

Also there is a mid-blade mount on each side of the fork on the inside and outside, the fork has a lot of options.
