“A sport is advanced by the handful of people who do it brilliantly, but it is kept sweet and sane by the great numbers of the mediocre, who do it for fun” –Elizabeth Coxhead
Give me intrigue or give me death?
In my two rules of bike lighting I mentioned the importance of using your lights to create “intrigue” for other road users.
Let me make it plainer: when riding at night put a flashing light and a static light on the front of your bike.
Lighting rig revisited
Daylight saving time has just kicked in here, so I thought I’d go back and have look at how my lighting rig worked out this winter, particularly with the addition of a high-intensity Ay Up headlight.

As I said last week, vision and visibility are what I’m after in my bike lights. But enough of the theory, how do I make it work in practice?
My two rules of bike lighting
In southern latitudes, daylight saving has recently ended and commuting cyclists find themselves suddenly plunged into darkness in the early evening. It’s around this time every year that Bicycle Victoria rightly reminds riders to Light Up.

“There is a deeply pleasing randomness about the campus cyclists, as though one morning university officials had assigned a bicycle to every member of the Stanford community, come as you are, without considering for a moment matters of fit – or fitness.” –Verlyn Klinkenborg, The New York Times
