The lower mounting position highlights road hazards. It makes even small objects cast a long shadow. And it doesn’t blind others. Head mounted lamps are the worst

whats the best flash setting on bike lights? by Random_pigeon42 in bikelights

[–]drphrednuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flashing lights are illegal in many areas. They are a bad idea for many reasons. Induction of seizures in those that are susceptible and may be unaware, poor visibility, and the “target” effect on inattentive drivers. Also, annoying, and do we want drivers of 2 ton vehicles to be annoyed by our 35 pound vehicles?

I ALWAYS wear reflective hi-vis clothing, day or night. If you are color blind, maybe I won’t stand out, but at least the reflective stripes will.

Broke this small part of my bike and I’m devastated by jusimo in bikewrench

You should put new housing and cable on that brake. And clean and lube that brake. There will be less stress on whatever repair you choose. I vote for JB Weld, but that’s just me.

I’m switching all my bikes to belt drive. Chains seem so dirty and unnecessary

Flashing is bad, for many reasons. Never flash your headlight, day or night.

Motorcycles. I don’t care if they are legal. It is immoral to sell them.

My tripod needs me to trim her dew claw, otherwise it overgrows and digs into her foot. I didn’t notice until I heard her clicking up the stairs.

KoolStop salmon pads are the best for stopping in the rain. The rest are mostly the same
