Bicycle through the winter (read all 9 entries…)
Brought out of darkness 2 years ago

Getting ready now, changed out the batteries in my blinkers on the winter bike. A old vistalite, the three diode first version with a amber lens.This is mounted on the back of my rack. The law says red but I’ve got other red reflectors to be legal and amber is more see-able. A red cateye five diode sticks out at axle level about six inches on the left rear. I also wear a flashing reflective leg band below my left knee.
The front lamps are a serfas five diode headlight and a cygolite dual beam. the cygolite is just two six watters but give a long run time and a pretty good pattern. The serfas I’ve got more at windshield level, it’s really a white bright “be seen” light.
The bike s tubes are wrapped in reflective tape, red on the rack and rear fender,yellow/orange/red on the main tubes and yellow on the forks with a silver front reflector on the left fork.
This thing isn’t pretty but is pretty bright.
Stitches and bandage is off my hand so I can ride with a glove again, looking forward to that.
Oh well, now I’m committed.
