ParticipantA quick shout out to Niterider. Sent a 5-6 year old lumina style light back for repair as the bulb was awfully dim. I was expecting to pay the $20-30 shop fee plus parts. It came back yesterday repaired for no charge as they blamed the actual LED which had a lifetime warranty.
Pretty much makes the decision about the brand of the next light I buy.

I doubt the trivial biking benefit does much to encourage biking.
While the $20/month may not directly encourage biking, it may cause employers to engage on how to make their operations more bike friendly, which may directly encourage biking. By giving some visibility to bicyclists in an organization, we increase their voice.

ParticipantFriggin rush hour this morning. In the short straight stretch at Gravelly Point on either side of the road and in front of the porta potties, there were seven cyclists inbound and three outbound.
The AAA approved VDOT approach would be to add lanes.

Alas, I was in Houston – where even people who don’t drive have cars.

I had the occasion to drive by NASA Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston this morning. The parking lot had a bunch of bike racks and bikes left in the parking lot. It seems that drivers might leave a utility bike so they can get around the campus more easily.
The fact that they are rocket scientists probably helped in coming up with that strategy.
