I use Lezyne Zecto front and rear lights - they both have many settings including the one you describe. Very good lights

We have an Intensive Care Doctor in Edmonton who goes to work at the hospital like this. He tows a canoe behind his bike from home to the river. He then detaches the wheels from the canoe, throws the wheels and his bike on top of the canoe, and then paddles down the river. When he's gone as...

The picture I've attached is from a Ped/Cycle bridge across the North Saskatchewan river here in Edmonton Canada. On my ride yesterday, I was stopped just before the bridge by a Fire truck and Ambulance on the bike path. This area is a favorite place for people to walk their dogs and let them...

Just keep going and don't look back. Really glad to see you doing well.

Hello Catalyzt. I must say a bit of your Miata story scared the heart out of me. The car has basically cost me nothing to keep on the road. The entire time I was reading your story, I was touching wood!!!! I just fired her up a couple of days ago after sitting in the garage for 6 months with...

So sorry to hear about this. It does sound like you have really good friends and neighbors. I hope you are back in your home soon and I'm extremely glad you weren't hurt. Bob

I live a little north of Prairie Dog in Edmonton. Most people who ride in the Winter here use studded tires. Prairie Dog is using some very good ones (Gravdals). One big problem here is Edmonton pours Calcium Chloride on bike paths during the winter which reeks havoc with your bike. Lots of...

There are many iterations of "windshields" in the recumbent world. They are called fairings and many different kinds are available. Never tried one in my recumbent days but always wanted to.

If you don't ride with no hands, how can you text??????? Had a young fellow coming at me last week on the wrong side of the bike path, earphones in and texting on his phone. I yelled "heads up" as loud as I could which got him to look up. He gave the bike a little juke to the right so he...

Very sorry to hear about your accident. I have had a spill or two in my time but none as bad as yours - never needed an ambulance. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure that you contact your ophthalmologist if you encounter anything weird with your vision such as losing vision in part of your...

I second the Mirrcycles as being very good mirrors especially if mounted on the bar ends. I also use a Zefal spy mirror which mounts with a strap but is very small and I don't tend to hit it when going through tight spaces such as doorways etc.
