Need Help From Night Riders
Ok, I am thinking about moving my lights (two handlebar-mounted Cateye Micro Halogens) to somewhere lower, which means mounting on the fork, but I have no idea how to go about this or attach anything there. I have a road frame, not a touring frame. Does anyone have their lights mounted there? My motivation is to clear up the handlebars so the new Baggins Candybar Bag has room! I can fit it under the lights, but it isn't optimal. Apparently lower-mounted lights will show the road in more relief, too, although it seems like I can see just fine the way they are now.
The Baggins Candybar bag, BTW, from Rivendell, is _gorgeous_. It smells like waxy canvas with new leather- a familiar horsey-related smell, and reminds me a lot of a beloved old cantle bag I had back in my horse-owner days. It looks to be the perfect size- I was worried it would be too big. I'll get to evaluate the floppiness tomorrow, though it has tie-downs that would go to the stem and the drops, if I wanted to secure it more. It will be going on its maiden voyage tomorrow, just a little 45 mile ride that I will ride 15 miles both ways to get to.
It will be my first club ride- I'm nervous! I even cleaned my bike. She's standing in the kitchen shedding _ants_. Where did they come from??? They haven't infested my Jelly Bellys, and the bike lives hanging from a ceiling hook, so I think she picked them up while standing out leaning up against my truck. Stupid things.
