Another reason I don't ride at night.


I love riding in the dark. I'm leaving the house a bit earlier than
normal because I get a bit more use out of my lights. And hey, they
cost enough so I should get some use out of them. Not really, my main
light is a Planet Bike 15W halogen and only cost $100 or so. Not like
some of the good ones, but suitable for me and it's fun riding along
with stuff illuminated by the beam. Most of my route (it's in NYC) is
never really dark, but some areas approach it.

Of course, I wear a highly reflective biking jacket, and have three
lights on the back: one on the seat stay, one on the back of the rack,
and one on my helmet. Once it starts getting and staying dark on the
ride home, which will be after the DST switch in a few weeks, I'll
mount the cold cathode (neon) tubes on the frame. I tend to mix the
colors but green and red predominate. (see

for the details or just google for Cold Cathode Bike.

I was just thinking this morning how much I like riding in the dark.
It's really peaceful.
