#nightriding — Public Fediverse posts

1/2

We haven’t been doing much night riding lately. After biking in to town to pick up a Father's Day card for two special dads, we have a fresh memory of one of our favorite things about night riding: There are usually far fewer cars on the roads!

Another favorite thing: Being prepared to easily take theft-prone items in with us when we went inside the card store, thanks to having an Ortlieb Vario Lite hybrid backpack-bicycle bag. Having that terrific bag is only because of the kind generosity of Jeff Scully, Ortlieb USA LLC, who donated it in 2025 as part of a thoughtful care package of Ortlieb products, in support of our direct outreach by bike. https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/acknowledgements-dress-up-challenge-prize-donors

Another favorite thing: The card store employee who welcomed us to bring our bike indoors. That’s especially appreciated because there’s no bike rack or well-lit, line-of-sight place to lock up.

#FotoVorschlag "Weitwinklig verzerrt": Mr. #Winterbrompton nach dem nächtlichen #mdRnH bzw. heimschlumpfen. 😉

Nicht besonders stark bzw. vor allem das Drumherum verzerrt, dafür ein recht aktuelles Bild von letzter Nacht.

What’s on our mind? Gratitude for Public Works Department crews. We’d not biked Garden Rd near Fairgrounds / Mark Thomas intersection in over a month. When we did last night, we came upon a happy surprise: City of Monterey’s Public Works Dept had remedied uplifted pavement we reported last summer.

Where to report bikeway maintenance needs in Monterey County—e.g., vegetation overgrowth, traffic signal not triggered by bicycles (no bike detection), potholes, debris on shoulders or bikeways, bikeways not clearly marked, damaged or missing bikeway signs, construction obstacles, and other conditions interfering with safe and efficient travel by bike. https://bikemonterey.org/where-to-report-a-bikeway-maintenance-need-in-monterey-county-plus-maintenance-needs-for-california-state-highways.html

In my ongoing pre- and test releasing of bike light comparison videos today I show you the difference between 2 battery powered lights (Lupine SL Mono and Lupine Neo) and 2 dynamo powered lights (SON Edelux II and kLite Ultra Racing).

So you now can get a dynamo hub from DT Swiss!

They paired with Shutter Precision and put an SP PL-7 in a 350 class hub shell.

Available as hub only or inside a GR 1600 and G 1800 Spline wheelset (both aluminium).

While I'm preparing my bike lights test article I show some of the lights, how they look mounted below an outfront-mount and share a few general tidbits about them every few days on my Instagram. Like this Gloworm XS G2.0.

With the days becoming shorter and the end of Daylight Savings Time, it's🚲bicycle light💡season once again❗️
#WABADC has some great tips on riding at night🌉 and how to effectively use bike lights. 🔗 https://waba.org/resource/how-to-ride-in-the-dark/

Did some afternoon trail riding in the dark on my way home from work today. My light setup works well, however there's always the wish for more lights 😅

I mostly rode on gravel roads through #Nordmarka and single-track at #Gjelleråsen the conditions where mostly good however there's some big wet spots some places.

I have a quiz for you. Guess the lights!

Can you put the right lamp to each number?

I photographed 6 different lights yesterday evening all with the same setting of the camera. I only show you one frame per light and its settings are neither the lowest nor the brightest of each respective light. 

The test field:
Gloworm XS G2.0
Supernova Airstream 2
Lupine Neo
Lupine SL Mono
Lupine SL MiniMax AF
Fenix BC26R-D

Es ist spät geworden im Büro. Und draussen kalt. Angeblich runter bis 16 Grad. Insofern: Scheiss auf die Mode! Gute Sichtbarkeit und warme Füsse gehen vor! 😁

Hi vis vest plus lights. Reflective stickers not visible since there were no lights on me.... just a test of visibility. #NightRiding #BikeTooter

We're back doing our club midweek spins at night on the #BarrowBlueway, our first was last week during the lovely mild spell we had but there was a definite touch of early winter in the temperatures last night. We're lucky to have such a great facility close to us, more of it is open this year so we have a choice of start points and routes this year. Nice not to have to face the turbo trainer constantly just yet #cycling #BikeTooter #CanalCycling #NightRiding

Lovely evening for the club blueway spin, 36.6km entirely off road and away from the traffic #blueway #cycling #clubspin #nightriding
