High visibility quest

[Geonz]

So, I"m reading your post and thinking "well, where is she? Some big city? People usually see me around here."

Then I see that you live um, really really close to me... (I'm on Anderson.)

So I guess my first advice would be: get an Xtracycle because it's so weird people see it better .

I am not sure blinky lights will be noticeable... maybe... I have already figured out that the standard issue blinky in the back, headlight in the front - even big ones for both - just don't compare to being decorated like a Christmas tree, so I'm looking for the missing attachment parts of my hokey spokes (took 'em off for a tour and can't find everything now ) I mainly use my position for visibility in the daytime; at night, copious little lights.

Other thing is yea, unless I see somebody seeing me, I'm pretty nervous about heading out... and if you don't mind... where exactly were you? Vine's four-ways are yukky...

Hey, we're NEIGHBORS! I'm at Washington and Lynn. The Incident occurred at the Washington / Philo 4 way. I ride east out of town, not every day but often. And I USUALLY am seen. I am careful, but I will be hyper-vigilant from now on.

(BTW, I think you've met Mr Jillm. Actually he would have introduced himself as Geoff. He rode with the illini4000 from Chebanse to Urbana this summer!)
