At least this morning, kinda nice. I went back through and read part of last year's blog at this time, crazy ya know? Snow, rain, wind, cold... i commuted today with shorts and a short sleeve jersey started with arm warmers and gloves, had to roll down the arm warmers!
Oh last night, GD blinky brigade. Effin Hell Brucie?! Don't those folks have any decent manners?
I really am fond of the f'ups with the fucking HID helment mounted lights who insist on WATCHING you as you go past... Nothing like some $500 light pointed in your fucking face...
Granted there were a few of the folks who dipped or covered the beam out of courtesy. But those who didn't.. GRRRR... what? they too busy talking about how great it is with the tail wind? Or how great their newest and amazing mail ordered SUPER light is? "See look, i can see that guy is pulling a trailer all with my nice new light! I bet he wishes he had one!" I mean it would be one thing if they could stay in a pack headed back to the top of the bike path, one massive onslaught of light would be bearable but a dabbling of onezies and twozies (double sic) for a couple miles is aggravating!
I mean its great that they are out riding and all. But... sheesh i get enough high intensity light focused on my eyes all day long fixing microscopes...
Now the next bit will be funny... (when juxtaposed with the rant)
I took some night time panda shots.
Yeah, with a flash... Hey GeWilli, lets see what we can do by way of blinding yourself, cause those folks in the blinky brigade weren't quite enough!
When i get a moment (prolly over lunch) i'll get the best... when reviewing them on the camera last night i had the thought "wow, i guess when riding in the dark you really open your eyes all the way up!"
Don't forget to read the link Big Jonny put up: http://www.drunkcyclist.com/rant_implicated.htm
insane eh?
not to mention there's a 53x11 company makin coffee... i guess they found 53x12 taken... maybe i should get a 55x12 domain...
peace,
G

The HID thing is a pissing match I guess. I manage on the EBBP with a CatEye OptiCube.
I thought about heading out with the blinkers last night but I just don't enjoy the dynamic of that group. All nice folks but a bit too sketchy.
Liz was hungry when she got home so we went for Porkacheese food instead of riding.
yeah - but now i have vented and am okay with it all...
there was one COX kitted dude... thought i might be your largeness...
guess not...
oh - i need that recommendation again for the only good chinese in town...
if there is any...
somethings like that blinky brigade i just have ta get off my chest... if i say it recognize that it bugs the shit out of me, i can over come the anger and find peace and not let it keep festering inside...
Although i had thoughts and ideas of putting two headlights mounted on the drops... from trying to come up with ways to counter the HIDness...
heck if ya can afford a light system like that - by all means use it...
Largeness, eh?
The only other Cox suckers I know of around here are Frenchie (former) and Jim Boyd. Unlessit was my father in law. He is a sponsor but rarely wears the kit.
