    It is getting a little silly. I have a red flashing light that I used to use while riding the road. I honestly felt people slowed down and gave me more room (because they could see me farther away?). I don't remember when I quit using it. I don't currently have a mirror. My previous one fell off while riding on the bike rack. I don't know that I want to see the cars bearing down on me. I'd probably spend most of my time in the ditch But I would buy another one if it made the city council happy.

    However, last weekend we took the kayaks out. After paddling away from the dock, I saw my DH had carefully tucked his life jacket into the rear straps of the kayak. I looked around and told him I hope he got ticketed by the coast guard.

    Now ask me why one and not the other? I don't know. I have taken up someone's philosophy of not talking to people that don't wear helmet. Don't know that it helps.......

    This is a tremendous step down from the outright ban. I think we're getting somewhere. I'm going to tonight's meeting.
