I'm a triathlete(*) so I am of course a cyclist. I try to stay on trails where I can. Many of the streets and highways around here are too narrow and/or have too much traffic for me to ride on them. When encountering cyclists on those roads behind the wheel, I give them a wide berth and think less than complimentary things about their judgement.

Lights are good. I put a red blinky light on the back of my wife's bike -- I don't ride at night. I don't see any way that the laser tail light is better than the three/$10 LED blinky that I picked up at the hamfest.



(* I completed a sprint tri last year and, having had two surgeries and spending 18 months in PT recovering from injuries suffered, am now training to do it again. What was that definition of insanity?)
