This is what i captured on the charge-coupled device without a tripod.
The sky line of the city... 1 sec exposure iirc, camera held against the bridge railing for the longer exposure...
Trailer... with flash on...
Flash off...The multi-color glow of 40 battery powered LEDs make for a unique and eye catching phenomenon rolling down the street. 20 LEDs for $6... show me a bike shop with that kinda deal. It says indoor use only but sofar in the wet it has been pretty good. I keep the battery packs dry inside the cargo area. And i get lots of very positive remarks.
Visibility is the first step in safety. Esp on the bike. Side note, normally the short flag is sticking out horizontally... on the path i'd be taking out people left and right if i didn't pause to change its position... on the road it is just one extra 'please share the road with me' warning... I keep thinking about making it a bit longer and putting some Ben Hur spiky sharp car scratching stuff on the end... but... well that ain't nice. I don't have anything against the drivers, just kinda want them to swing wide. And for the most part, they do.
As always. Share the love. Pass on a smile. Break the circle of pettiness, of anger, of retribution. Be the peace maker, be the mature one, don't perpetuate the hate.

That buggy look spiffy lit up.
No wonder the precious cargo digs it.
even got interior lights... so the little one can keep track of the snack and juice and all that...
those give a nice glow to the whole solobug... hard to capture that effect with this little digi cam i got...
Nice display. Very festive. One advantage I have in commuting is that I'm on the road home in the early afternoon. Never needed or used lights. Problem is, that's when all the...potentially sexist remark coming...women in SUVs are hawwwling around town getting their kids to after school karate and gymnastics. Nearly got flattened by two yesterday--both feeling the need to speed just ahead of me at the intersection to make a right turn across my path.
