For all those who would rather not be blinded by the light

ETA: I said that as a joke, but the more I think about it... why the heck are wetsuits black, when watersports are the most dangerous of all sports just because an injury or temporary problem that would be totally minor on land, can turn into drowning so quickly? Why should swimwear make it so difficult for rescuers to find a person?

Not to mention the whole shark bait thing. You can't look much more like a seal than when you're in a full body wetsuit.

Our local favorite ride around the lake is closing the gates at 6:30pm now, and the sun is setting earlier and earlier, which means DH is riding in the dusk/dark after work. After the time change, it will be dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. He's designed and is building an LED light for his bike, and even though I always ride in the morning, I want to get lights for my bike, too. A friend bought me a headlamp for my bike for my birthday, but DH sort of rolled his eyes a bit at it and said, "If you want to get seen, maybe, but that's not bright enough to let YOU see much of anything, or anyone."

He rides amongst the ninjas, too.
