Making Myself Side-Reflective

[redrhodie]

W00t! I got a package in the mail today! 2 each blue, green and red Spokelits, woohoo My 11yr-old son was very impressed, and envious. And redrhodie, bless her, added some chocolate that looks locally made. Yummy!

In exchange I went handicraft shopping. You said you liked the mittens called Selbuvotter, and as chance had it I was in Røros for the post-Christmas holidays. One of my closest friends grew up there and her family still has a cabin there. Røros is an old mining town, very picturesque, and it can get really, really cold there, so even to Osloites it's a bit exotic. When I came across some locally made mittens at Husfliden I had to get them. Husfliden is an organization devoted to preserving old handicraft traditions. In fact they're almost infamous for their opinions on how to wear the folk costume called "bunad" - no make-up, hair down, no sunglasses, and above all, no umbrellas

Sorry, I'm wandering here. I shall have to recommend this form of internet shopping to my friends, it's a lot of fun Mittens are in the mail!

Wow, that was pretty fast! 2 weeks to Norway. I've had packages go slower to the west coast.

Oh, I'm so excited! I'll be sure to wear the Selbuvotter without umbrellas. Hair down, no makeup, that's easy! The sunglasses will be a problem, though. I wear transitions lenses

Thanks lph! That was fun!

I bought DH some green Spokelits for Christmas, he should install them tonight. I am pretty eager to see them on they are sure bright just to play with! I may order myself some blue ones to leave on my Cannondale, I think they would be extremely helpful on those weird overcast days as well? I found them online with super speedy shipping, cost me just at $20 for a pair.

He needs new tires shortly and we found some Michelin City tires with side reflection. Going to pick those up for replacements. I run Armadillos on my bike and will spring for the reflective ones next time, can't hurt even if I normally ride in daylight.
