My new headlight

I've been pedaling at night. I use two headlights (one is steady and the other's blinking) and two or three blinking rear lights. The headlights are fine if riding on streets with street lights. Otherwise, they aren't bright enough to illuminate the road.

So, I bought a brighter light - a Cateye HL-EL320. I also keep the other headlight as a blinker. Now, I could bike safer even on a dark night.

I have a new tail light.

I already have one but couldn't find it. I was planning to have a night ride in going home from the office; so, I bought a new one. it's only P125 ($2.70). It has three functions with parabolic lens.

When I arrived home I saw my old rear light. Wifey found it. Now, I have two rear lights, which I could use simultaneously for better visibility.

I install my bike lights

Last September 14, I pedaled late in the afternoon in UP Diliman Academic Oval. And, dusk and darkness caught on me. I had no lights (front and rear) on my bikes yet. The street lights were not sufficient to illuminate clearly the area. And, I may not be visible from other bikers and joggers/walkers. I just kept watchful and ready for any eventuality.

Actually, I already bought front and rear lights for my AlitePot but hadn't installed them yet.

Last Saturday (September 23), I biked again late in UP Diliman to break in my new shoes. Before riding, I installed first the lights. I wasn't able to use though the lights as dusk didn't caught on me but rains. Thus, I cut short my ride. I made eight laps only instead of my usual 12 laps.
