Thanks for the nice comments! Makes it even more fun to share the pic with people who understand.
Melalvai, yes, I have light system of sorts - blinkie on the back, Spokelites (sp?) on both wheels, a super bright helmet-mounted headlight, and a reflective vest. I ride to work between 0630-0700 when it's full dark and so far this is working. Though I think an additional rear light might be in order because the blinkie is pretty small and bracketed by my panniers.Road bike: Specialized Ruby Comp (2011)

Ooo, congratulations! I love how you describe it as a "go-anywhere" kind of bike. I like that idea. I also like the idea of owning multiple bikes
Enjoy!
