Shiney and safe (Part Deux)

The super power of the light in the last post's main purpose is to guide my way around divits, stones, white dog-poo, etc. when cycling along the pitch black river and the like. However, when it comes to real safety, the kind of life-saving safety that will save your life and keep you safe safeness, the real hero is the red light which sits on the post under your bum.

Using the birthday money I got from my mum, I splashed out and picked up the absolute top of the range Cateye red light for 3,654 yen. I really do not mind opening up the coffers for decent lights because it is a good investment, looking after my life is.
It has 2 buttons for 2 separate rows of LEDs, 4 modes, including a Knight Rider side to side flash, includes LEDs on the side and is pretty much impossible to miss, at all angles, from miles away. To quote a mate of mine, if a car hits you when you are using this light, they are trying to kill you.

  1. The funny thing about investing in a light is that you will never know how many times it has saved your life. Maybe St. Peter will drop you a BTW... your light saced your ass 37 times. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I called you back this morning and waited like a red head but got nothing.
