Last week was riding me crazy with the three layers that are required to commute from Seatac to Renton in Spring. Lights in the morning with rain gear and sunglasses in the afternoon. It was too warm to climb in two layers so another stop was needed to peel a layer. The wind is chore. Sometimes I look up at the light rail as I ride beneath it and wish I was onboard.

I'll take that as a positive sign. Speaking of cheap blinky lights I recently got a knog beetle light for $10 at nashbar although that does not include shipping.

April 20th. I want to go somewhere and be uncomfortably hot for 3 days. So hot all people do is complain about the heat. Spring? Ha! 35 degrees in Seattle this morning. April 20th.

I have a *HUGE* orange reflective decal on the tail end along with a tail light, brake light, amber turn signals/four way flashers and a 400 + lumen bright red flasher about 3' off the ground pointing to the rear. I have the turn signals, running light and a Inoled Extreme in the nose along with over 800 lumens pointing off the front. I am the brightest thing on the road way night and day. On my tandem I run two flashers off the rear. Each is 2 3.4" x 3 3/4" x 3/4". One with 36 LEDs and the other with 44 LEDs running off of a Nite Sun battery. They will go a month, night and day between charges. The LEDs and circuitry is set in clear epoxy. One could drive tent pegs with these lights and not hurt them. I find little blinky lights to be insignificant. There are way to many stealth cyclists out there with no lights or reflective gear. One can never have enough lights and or reflective gear on them selves or their bikes. I ride a bright yellow velomobile.
