Fall/ Winter 2011 Commuters

Good thing I brought my spare battery today. My headlight blinked out 1/3 of the way home. I almost didn't realize it, as my new Vis-360 on my helmet is actually brighter than my Knog headlight.

Such a GOOD feeling when preparations and backups save your butt! You had the spare battery AND additional lighting.

Now get a new spare battery (or recharge the other one, whatever it is you do), before you forget.

Borne of experience, I'm afraid.
I once before had my headlight blink out on a ride home. No spare battery. No helmet light. Almost full dark. Was a freaky ride home.

I learned to be better about re-charging on a regular basis. Except this week.

Spare Li-ion battery now fully recharged and stashed back in my pannier.

Snow is on its way!
But it's only supposed to last a day or so. I might have to go out of my way or bike at a strange time of day, to get my studded tires on actual ice.

Maybe I should pour buckets of water on the driveway when it gets below freezing...my family might not appreciate that.
