    These kind of lights illuminate the rider, not the road, right?
    I’ve got flashers, but I am trying to decide if I should shell out for a more powerful light for the few extra weeks of riding I’d get before it gets too cold for me anyway. (yes, wuss).

    Yes, these are “be-seen” lights so they aren’t ideal for lighting up the road…but fear not! We’ll be handing out flyers with discounts for bike lights from 4 local shops! So definitely stop by if you can!!

    I think one of the ways you can lessen the number of cars on the road is to make driving miserable. Another is to make it expensive.

    Hallelujah! I know this is an old article but it’s relevant.

    I don’t believe I broke any rules, if that’s what you are suggesting. I was in the crosswalk with all cars fully stopped.

    I was referring to drivers – I’ll encounter drivers that waive me to go if I’m turning left at an intersection even though I don’t have the right of way, and of course traffic in the other lanes are barreling straight ahead. That is a courtesy driver breaking the rules to be nice and creating a dangerous scenario for the biker.

    I couldn’t agree more!! Had this conversation with Chris last week when we were crossing the George Wash Pkwy on the Mt Vernon Trail as the car closest to us waived us on and the car in the lane furthest hesitated to stop.

    Glad to hear you’re ok WillStewart!!
