You finish work drive home . Get out of the metal cage and think . Wow I don't remember doing that whole trip. That's auto pilot . Had that experience? Then you had little or no attention to your surroundings.
Zombie mode . Yes I see them when I'm commuting by bike . It's fun if you see them first . I yell really loud . Shakes them back into reality . Always with a sheepish I'm sorry look.
Considered an air horn. You know who users horns? Assholes in a hurry lol. I'm not using a horn. Maybe a flame thrower ....
My street has cars parked both sides . A two lane street is now parking lot with one lane . I see no choice but to use the entire road . Now I do most of the time . Curb riding is impossible. It's now a parking lot .
I'm literally forced to take up an entire lane .
The only thing that keeps me alive is careful observation and taking up the whole road On top of that carefully watching every driver to see if they are zombies or crotch phone retards .
Up front I point the lights low just in front of the tire .
Out back 200 lumens right in the face of drivers .
Considering how much bikes cost these lights are an absolute bargain.
The power gauge is excellent. If you can't change up to a fresh battery like my Fenix .
It's been mentioned that you can force a sealed unit open and replace the battery when it begins to loose its vigor .
Andrew it's your life your protecting take up the whole lane . Smile and wave at the people in automobiles. At stop sighns turn around and get eye contact with driver . Give him the stink eye if needed .
In North van and Vancouver most people accept bikes now and are courteous. I always smile and give thanks to courteous drivers .
The selfish assholes endanger people's lives . For some reason that's acceptable to them.
Getting your daughter to embrace the cold and go nite riding . Awesome !
