Rock The Bike really should be paying me! (bicycle)

by fluffy at 6:07 PM

Pretty much every night I get at least one person (often more!) asking me where I got my bike lights. Several of them have been folks in cars, and I get the impression that at least one of them wants to bike commute but was just concerned about road safety at night.

For whatever it's worth, I actually feel safer riding at night than during the day, now. During the day I still have close calls since I'm just an invisible speck. At night, I'm visibly huge, and don't. Even the people who don't respect my space on the road obviously see me!

Ha just don't attract the wrong kind of attention. Meth crazed zombies are surprisingly hard to outrace.

I almost called you yesterday because my bike exploded on 30th/guerrero on the way to game night. But then I caught a bus. By exploded I mean I exploded after the cheap derailleur popped off and caught in the spokes causing instant stoppage and swearing.
