HJ02 DED Manages To Stay Ahead Of Cyclist Through The Corners

He makes the overtake immediately before some narrow corners, hangs on well enough along the straight but inevitably is unable to hold his lead through the next set of corners.

That's one kick-ass front light! What is it?

[kmcyc]

@xchopp

I have 3 front lights and 4 rear lights.

Front lights are Cateye El530 Power Opticube and Hl-el120 and 1 Diode Sport Opticube both bar mounted with a Blackburn Flea on my helmet. I think it was the Flea that caught your attention - it catches most people's anyway! ;)

At the rear I have a Cateye Tl-ld600 5 Diode on my rack, with a Blackburn Flea on my top box and 2 Electron EHP251 Backupz Seat Post Rear Lights on my helmet. If I have more bags on the rack, they'll have lights too.

@kmcyc So the Flea is the one that's doing the flashing that we can see in the vehicles in front of you?

@xchopp

Yeah, that's the brightest. It's a USB rechargeable too but only lasts about 2 hours per charge, so I have to charge it every other day during the depths of winter, or every day if I have to get in early.

lol i thought this was a re-upload, but no... there are multiple pillocks in this world

@ithinksasukeiscool

LOL, yeah, there are unfortunately. It was odd to find two of them on consecutive evenings on almost exactly the same piece of road though!

A temporary change to my route, unlikely to be needed now the clocks have changed. I've been going this way as it allows me a place to stop out of the way to swap sunglasses for clear lenses as the light fades about half-way along my 15 mile journey.

Cycles are certainly the fastest on my commute anyway, faster even than the train - and more reliable! :)

That move would have been risky anywhere else and I only attempted it as with my local knowledge I knew there is little more than a couple of car lengths of road to the right.

Cycles : The fastest mode of transport since 1900.

At first it looked a it of a risky move at 0.47 for you there. Not quite sure now.
