Still drooling after a set of <a href="http://www.solidlights.co.uk/products/1303.php" rel="nofollow">SolidLights</a> though…<br><br>Did ponder getting a fluorescent top as well, then decided against it as there are bits of Scotchlite on my waterproof top/trousers anyway and the 3 rear lights (including an eye-hurting <a href="http://www.cateye.com/uk/products/viewProduct.php?modelId=45&catId=7&subCatId=4" rel="nofollow">CatEye TL-LD1000</a>) are probably enough to get noticed.<br><br>Bought some trouser clips today in an effort to stop shredding my trousers — couldn't decide what would be better: stretchy scotchlite / velcro ankle bands or traditional black metal clips, so bought both.

They're just the right length for round my ankles, but I do have stick-like legs.<br><br>Front lights that are easier to remove from the bike would be nice. I also keep meaning to get some quick releases with removeable levers, so I don't have to remove the front wheel when I lock my bike up.Mikehttp://mactually.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
