@Andrew_Squirrel what light is that that you have attached to your helmet? Interest is high in going in this direction for a support light, and all of mine are tall branch catchers.

Same. So annoyed IT is blocking Flickr at work now.

Danke.
Reading through that spreadsheet and searching items I’m not familiar with is teaching me a lot of excellent niche bike nerdery. Thanks @Andrew_Squirrel !

ATMO I have that light too and it has limitations. It provides a great diffuse glow of light in all directions and is good for like stopping to look at a map, cooking at camp, or reading in a tent. It puts out enough light that multiple people can use it and it is very lightweight.
But it has very little throw distance, so using it to see things while riding a bike at any speed above walking didn’t work for me. Also because the light is so unfocused it hits everything nearby. I could hardly see a deer in my side yard with it, because the light was bouncing so much off tree branches and leaves that were close to me that I couldn’t see the animal standing 10ft. beyond the tree trunk. It sort of either killed any night vision I had but also didn’t throw enough light beyond the trunk, hope that makes sense.

2nd this experience with it being fairly useless for a “see stuff” light. But also has the surprising characteristic of being blinding to everyone around, squarely fits in the be-seen-but-dazzling category

Huh, guess I’ll go back to my original plan of buying another Petzl rechargeable headlamp and figure out a ziptie mount.

I think all of us have at least one @Kryptotal_Bogan bike, wish we had at least one @Andrew_Squirrel bike, but respect both equally.

Finally fixed the ancient lone peak panniers I bought for $2 from the vashon island thrift store almost ten years ago:
Added the new plastic lock-on hooks and moved the bungie down.

Did a bmx race. Rode someone’s current bmx bike and it made my 15 yo bike feel like garbage.
Got to thinking I don’t need a ride bike.
