Ok, I put on the slime tube in back, and tested my frame pump, which did not break off the head of my presta valve this time. Maybe being hot in the sun and in a hurry somehow caused me to break two presta valves. I donno.

Got a new front light that I really like already. It's the Nightrider mininewt 600. If you are looking for a simple all-in-one commuter front light and don't need 4+ hours at a shot, it will give you 600 lumens for 1.4 hrs or so. There are two lower lumen settings that extend the time. It charges via USB so I just charge it at work. It has a quick disconnect bar mount, is really light weight, and there are no wires and battery packs. Been using it this week and I think it will be perfect for this winter.

Yep, time to make sure I am ready for daylight savings time change. It's gona be really dark in the morning in a few weeks.

Today was overcast and almost foggy and a little misty. Got to work damp. It was 92f when I left though.

divingbiker- that gives me the willies. Having a car cut me off is my biggest fear when I commute in the dark. Ranks up there with being doored. I guess that is why my bike is a x-mas tree of lights and reflectors. Fear. Good the guy is ok (but I am sure he was sore the next day.)
