You can tell that we’re in #November. There has been thick #CloudCover all day, with #Rain coming down over significant periods of the day. It has been dark and dank and although sunset was only about ten minutes ago, it has been feeling like dusk for a couple of hours already. My #BikeLights got put to good use today as did my #Overtrousers. It’s also lucky that I have two on the front and two on the back since one ran out of power en route.

Whelp, here's one major down side....
If I break a spoke I have to take the whole battery hub off to replace it......
I'm not looking forward to how hard it was to get on in the first place.
But I still love these lights!

Sometimes people don’t use the bike lights legally required in their locale because they don’t know the laws (e.g., for California, https://bikemonterey.org/wp-content/uploads/CA-bike-law-summary-bilingual-2025.pdf). Other times, there are other reasons—in some cases, it’s that their family budget hasn’t allowed purchasing a reliable light.
Our gratitude to Shawna Wagner and Patrick Presco of NiteRider for contributing on April 13 a Lumina Micro 650 Front Bike Light. https://www.niterider.com/products/6784-lumina-micro-650?_pos=2&_psq=lumina-micro&_ss=e&_v=1.0 This allowed us to gift the light to a court-referred Salinas Valley teen participating in Bicycling Monterey’s project Alternatives to Fines for Traffic Citations. Thank you, NiteRider! https://www.niterider.com/

When a widely renowned Monterey County business, Light & Motion, ceased operations this year after 35 years, we became eager to know of other reliable lights for cycling.
That’s why we checked out the new KOM Cycling Quick Release 1000 lumen light. We do a lot of night riding, including on dark rural roads, and we appreciate this degree of brightness! It's also available as a 350 lumen light. Each has 6 operating modes—3 steady and 3 flashing, including an SOS light.
Concerned about bike light theft while parked? The light is very easy to detach and take with you.
Those of you using Garmin & Wahoo devices will appreciate that these lights come with the needed hardware to ensure compatibility with Garmin and Wahoo mounts and computers.

In order to compensate for the missed couple of days of cycling during the week, owing to snow, I went on a #Night #Ride today. This enabled me to get used to #riding in the #dark. On my usual route, there are some fairly quiet and hence secluded and #unlit stretches, where #BikeLights are essential although it’s still very difficult to spot pedestrians in dark clothing (and also their dogs). Still, no close encounters today.
