    Techically, each LED is a fixed different colour, but the R, G, and B LEDs are clustered so close together they look like pulsing, full colour spectrum lights. And they're not on a rope or wire, but on a skinny flexible ribbon with circuit traces. Looks pretty industrial, close-up.

    So, not fairy lights. Perhaps orcs-toiling-in-the-mines lights.

    A1a Manchester UK, the central bit… but often spotted crossing the Pennines to work.

    A1b Cospoo radar light at the rear (solid in the dark, blinking after dawn and before dusk), Magene rechargeable front light (which has a proper cut-off beam pattern to avoid blinding folk), some red retroreflective tape on the rear stay and an apidura hi vis vest which is big enough to go over my backpack (which also has a big reflective strip). My shoes and overshoes have a little bit of reflective detail and so do my shorts, jerseys, jackets etc.

    On a longer ride I’ll have a AA battery rear light, and often an exposure race as an extra front light.

    I still have people claiming not to see me LOL.

  3. @ascentale @bikenite A8. I couldn't upload that much from #Spezi2026 when I was still on the move. So now I get to choose one to post in answer to the weekly photo cue.

    Spezi is the best cycle show I've been to, besting even the Recumbent Cycle Con I attended 10 or so years ago. Great opportunities for disabled cyclists, but also plenty of abled cyclists enjoying the spectrum of what's available in human-powered and e-assist vehicles.

  4. @ascentale @bikenite A8. I have loads of photos from #Spezi2026 to go through. I love the demountable trailers that Hinterher makes. #BikeNite
